In this article we problematize the concept of democratic citizenship given the impact of social inequalities in the educational system and, from a political perspective of scientific literacy, we question simplistic views on citizen emancipation. In order to characterize how the processes of construction of critical citizenship and scientific literacy tending to social transformation occur, we carried out development research in natural science classrooms. Following a qualitative methodology, we configure cases based on socio-environmental problems related to health and the environment (agroecological garden, dengue/zika/chikungunya and biological diversity). Thus, we analyze, recognize and reflect on a Didactics in the territory of the public sector that, from an interstitial and cutting edge curricular approach, it contextualizes teaching practices in everyday socio-environmental issues.

Palabras clave : Ecology Teaching; Health Education; School garden.
