The main goal of the STS curriculum is to provide scientific and technological literacy for students so they can act as citizens and participate on decision making on the perspective of social responsibility. This paper discusses this educational goal and provides a review of the literature about its implications for science education. It also reflects on the National High School Curriculum related to the same objectives.
