PEREZ, José Gutiérrez. Optimal conditions for a science of sustainability: substantive implications for educational and socio-environmental research contemporary. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2012, vol.21, n.47, pp.571-596. ISSN 2238-2097.

Abstract Are the aims of science immovable or will change over time? How do these changes affect the emerging concerns of contemporary research of environmental education and its progressive conversion? We tried to argue throughout this article that the nature of scientific knowledge, the logic of his argument and how that occurs is subject to substantive changes and strongly conditioned by the prevailing values in the socio-historical context. Other determinants of these changes are the scientific practices of the communities in which knowledge arises, the availability of financial and technological resources of time and institutional interests involved. Under the assumptions of sustainability science try to characterize the hallmarks of a new generation of reasons and interests that guide the efforts of socio-educational research and contemporary environment
