Abstract

A critical reflection is presented on three relevant science education issues - teaching orientation, curricular reconceptualization and research/innovation - in order to stimulate their debate and suggest possible ways for their improvement in the framework of a science education for citizenship. The study is anchored in epistemic principles of Morin's Complexity, in particular the multidimensionality, multireferentiality and incompleteness of knowledge. It is mainly aimed at science teachers (non-higher education) and trainers of science teachers with a view to their professional development. A qualitative research approach of an interpretative nature of data from different sources is followed. The discussion on strategies for change focuses on the ongoing debate on STEM/CTS issues (teaching orientation), alternatives to curriculum architecture (curriculum) and the reorientation of the role of research as innovation, strategies to be carried out in a articulated way.
