Abstract

SIQUEIRA-BATISTA, Rodrigo et al. Nanociência e nanotecnologia como temáticas para discussão de ciência, tecnologia, sociedade e ambiente. Ciência educ. [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.02, pp.479-490. ISSN 1516-7313.

Scientific and technological education has been, in present times, fairly-well discussed, with focus on the ultimate commitment of the various teaching institutions: to promote the formation of citizens who are able to understand the world where they live in. Actually, the choice of contemporary topics is by itself a very strategic approach to motivate discussions on such matters in the classroom. Nanoscience and nanotechnology come up very properly in such a domain, which can be treated in an interdisciplinary way, by joining exact and natural sciences on the one hand, and human and social sciences on the other hand. The proposal of thematic directions to approach nanoscience and nanotechnology as a motto for science teaching, set up from reviewing the literature under the optics of Science-Technology-Society-Environment (STSE), is the main goal of the present paper.

Keywords : Science; Technology; Society and Environment (STSE); Education; Nanoscience; Nanotechnology.
