In the teaching-learning process adopted in CECs in the opposite shift to that of regular schools, students coming from public education are trained by their educators to use various equipment and materials to appropriate the resources of arts and technologies, necessary for the development of the production of scientific knowledge. In the workshops that they attend over two years at the CECs, students learn to collect, select, interpret, question, produce and use different types of data and information, used in scientific practice to produce new knowledge, expanding awareness critique of reality.
