THE EDUCATION IN VALUES FORM A SCIENCE-TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY APPROACH: THE EDUCATIVE SIMULATION AS AN ADVANCED DIDACTIC TOOL / LA EDUCACIÓN EN VALORES DESDE EL ENFOQUE CIENCIA-TECNOLOGÍA-SOCIEDAD: LA SIMULACIÓN EDUCATIVA COMO HERRAMIENTA DIDÁCTICA AVANZADA

Abstract

The science-technology and society approach (STS) underlines a consideration about science and technology as social phenomena. Its educative dimension can be manifested through the incorporation of the conceptual content, the means and didactic procedures according to its essence. To promote educative sceneries in the university, that propitiate the development of the political and ethic reflexive capacities, constitute the objective of this proposal. This enriches the repertoire of the teaching resources as a new way: the educative simulation, which helps the educative influence of STS and in the education in values. In the first phase, it is argument the inescapable relation between the two pretensions: to educate in values and STS. Then, it is offered the support for the development of a didactic model with a reflexive and constructive character in the teaching-learning process. It is highlighted what to understand for constructivism in general terms and in the didactic of sciences.
