STS look at the Training of an Environmental Culture in High School Students in Angola. (Review)

Abstract

This work is intended to assess, from philosophical positions, the relationship between science, technology and society (STS), as well as the training of an environmental culture in students of the Biology specialty at the Mutu Ya Kevela School in Luanda in Angola. Currently, the level of development reached by science and technology in the world is causing such significant transformations in the social, economic, political and cultural fields. In the face of environmental problems that are verified worldwide and in particular in Angola, the training of an environmental culture with a STS approach and philosophical foundations from the teaching-educational process, in addition to constituting a need and priority, is a way to raise the cultural level of the student in order to assume positive behavior in relation to the environment. Thus, the Biology subject plays an important role in this training due to the potential it presents.
