LOS FUTUROS PROFESORES DE ENSEÑANZA SECUNDARIA ANTE LA SOCIOLOGIA Y LA EPISTEMOLOGIA DE LAS CIENCIAS. UN ENFOQUE CTS

Resumen

The aim of this paper is to describe a case study made with Secondary Education teachers candidates during the psichopedagogical teacher training (Didactic of Sciences course, CAP). Here we analyze teachers'beliefs about sociological and epistemological topics of science. The results obtained show several stereotypes concerning science and the nature of scientific knowledge, and, at the same time, some ideas accepted now. Again, we only have found little and non-significant gender-differences between women and men teachers'opinions. Finally, after a large discussion from a Science/Technology/Society view, some remarks on instructional implications of STS approaches in Science Education are summarized.
