Contribution
Open science can be understood as a collective term for various movements (Fecher & Friesike, 2014) that advocate for a cultural shift toward openness within the scientific system (Reichmann 2017). Practices related to openness such as open access, open data, open methodology, open peer review and open educational resources not only affect the dissemination of knowledge but also the production of knowledge (see Grabensteiner and Svecnik, Grabensteiner and Heers in this symposium) and the related establishment of insights and truth. These movements in the sciences are taking place in the context of a society that is more dependent than ever on robust scientific insights to deal with the uncertainty of today's world and the crisis of truth. Against this background, questions arise such as: - What concept of knowledge do open science practices presuppose? - How important are openness and pluralism as epistemological principles in open science? (Leonelli 2022; Rubin, 2023)? - What is the relationship between openness and uncertainty? - What significance does an open view of knowledge have for education and educational science, which has the transfer of knowledge as its concern? In light of this, the concept of knowledge in the context of open science and its implications for education and educational science will be discussed from a social perspective on knowledge.
