Natural and Material Environments: Towards a Culture of Science Education

Abstract

The rapid changes in society that have accelerated over the past half-century have resulted in an upheaval in contemporary socio-cultural realities. The natural and material environments are becoming central issues where the new knowledge production regime of technoscience is linked more than ever before to the cultural, economic and political aspects of life in society. In this text, we will show how the breakthrough of this new regime has influenced scientific practices, which in turn influence the treatment of scientific issues in schools.
