AULER, Décio  y  DELIZOICOV, Demétrio. Latin-American thinking on science and policy (PLACTS) and its proposals for scientific education. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2015, vol.21, n.45, pp.275-296. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.2015/lcv21n45.003.

Two genuine praxes arose in the Latin American context in the 1960s: the educational thinking of Paulo Freire and that known as Latin American Thinking in Science, Technology and Society (PLACTS). Through their correlation, in the realm of an expanded understanding of the non-neutrality of science and technology, an attempt was made to respond to the question: how can historically ignored social demands be included in the production of scientific and technological knowledge? This synthesis highlights the potential of the Freirian thematic investigation that was reinvented to give voice to new social actors, facing the challenge of detecting local manifestations of contradictions and identifying new demands for the research agenda in science and technology.

Palabras clave : Freire; Thematic Investigation; Viable Unprecedented; PLACTS. Research Agenda.
