It is highlighted that STS education should not be seen merely as a slogan, but as an important area to scientific literacy, which has well-defined parameters. We point out also that science education cannot be reduced to the purposes of education STS, since that other issues should be encompassed in science education, so that it achieves its goals which go beyond understanding the complex STS relationships |
