Citizen science for scientific literacy and the attainment of sustainable development goals in normal education
2020
Curricular integration of the formal teaching of citizen science can bring to the classroom aspects of scientific literacy that encourage the involvement of citizens. In particular, these include non-epistemic aspects related to the sociology of science (which are often not transferred to the classroom).

Cómo y qué enseñar de la biodiversidad en la alfabetización científica
2010
The purpose of this article is to approach the didactic treatment of biodiversity conservation issues from the double perspective of scientific literacy and environmental education. We attempt to provide ideas on how articulating their respective theoretical speeches with practice in biological education; understanding the need to fit principles and goals that characterize them, with the processes of teaching and learning concepts, values, processes and techniques; significantly necessary to develop of citizenship, critical interpretation and based decision-making capacities, related to the political proposals and measures on biodiversity conservation.
Museos de ciencia como herramienta para la alfabetización científica : contribución a la comprensión de la naturaleza de la ciencia y la tecnología
2013
Vivimos en sociedades que dependen cada vez más de sus avances científicos y tecnológicos. Progresivamente la ciencia y la tecnología afectan a la vida cotidiana y esta influencia es perceptible en la creciente demanda de conocimiento científico y tecnológico para tomar decisiones. La propuesta actual de una alfabetización científica para todos los ciudadanos y ciudadanas, va más allá de la tradicional importancia concedida a la educación científica y tecnológica, para hacer posible el desarrollo futuro. Esa alfabetización científica se ha convertido, en opinión de los expertos, en una exigencia urgente, en un factor esencial del desarrollo de las personas y de los pueblos, también a corto …
Addressing Complexity in Science|Environment|Health Pedagogy
2019
This paper aims to discuss complexity as a key feature for understanding the role of science knowledge in environmental and health contexts—a central issue in Science|Environment|Health pedagogy. Complex systems are, in principle, not predictable. In different contexts, ephemeral mechanisms produce different, sometimes completely unexpected results. The art of decision-making in complex contexts is to take scientific knowledge into account but to interpret its meaning in terms of concrete complex contexts. This is illustrated by four empirical studies on Science|Environment|Health issues, presented midway through this paper. The findings underscore the importance of introducing complexity i…
