SANTIAGO JIMENEZ, Maria Evelinda  and  ARROYO, Gloria. La Asignatura Sello CTS + I: estrategia para la alfabetización tecnocientífica. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2007, vol.36, n.144, pp.87-97. ISSN 0185-2760.

The environmental and social crisis that the planet is suffering make us think carefully about rescuing and practicing values, in order to build scientific knowledge with people and not for the people (Funtowicz y Ravetz, 2000). Education plays an important roll in this matter, for this reason, it must renew its social contract as to be the catalyst for reflexions about the impact that scientific and technological products have in our society. Technoscientific literacy focussed on STS (Science, Technology and Society) turns out to be an educative strategy in order to encourage people behaviour to reflect this strategy for policies design about science and technology.

Keywords : technoscientific literacy; citizenship; social and ecological responsibility.
