Más Allá del Paradigma de la Alfabetización: La Adquisición de Cultura Científica como Reto Educativo

this paper discusses some of the most significant aspects that in the educational context have emphasized the tradition of the so-called science and technology studies (sts). the sts have significantly changed the conception of science and technology, but the educational paradigm in science and technology teaching continues to manage the old positivist model. this has produced a significant gap between science and technology presented in the classroom and those that students actually need. it is concluded that the notion of scientific culture proposed will better provide the skills that students need to live in the present techno-scientific world.
