LOPEZ SEGRERA, Francisco  e  GUMUCIO PARKER, Cristian. Scientific literacy, mission of the university and citizenship: ideas for their construction in developing countries. Avaliação (Campinas) [online]. 2009, vol.14, n.02, pp.267-290. ISSN 1414-4077.

The present article is an analysis of the new concept of scientific literacy as a requirement for the exercise of citizenship in the 21st century and as complement and extension of traditional literacy. It is no longer enough to teach how to read and write, it is necessary also to make lifelong education for all and the universal access to the ICTs a reality in a frame of relevancy and social inclusion.
