Abstract

STS education enables a critical view about several aspects related to science, its influence on society and the relationships between science, technology and society. In the context of Brazilian education, the academic production of research groups in STS education is considered extremely important as a way of contributing to its insertion in science education. This paper analyzes the possible contributions of the academic production of the Interdisciplinary Center for Studies and Research in Science, Technology and Society (NIEPCTS, due to its initials in Portuguese) from the perspective of STS education. It is a study on the state of knowledge that derives from a selection of academic productions (dissertations and theses) developed by members of NIEPCTS between 2011 and 2022. To analyze this data, content analysis techniques were used. The results show that the research developed by NIEPCTS has contributed to fostering reflections and practices related to STS education in aspects like curriculum, teaching and teacher training, contemplating its principles and objectives.
