Enseñanza y divulgación de la ciencia en la integración universidad-escuela: Una experiencia en brasil

Abstract

Based on the idea that science and technology play a central role in our reading and understanding of the world, we identify the centrality and urgency of scientific education in the formation of the contemporary citizen, defending the need for university-school integration in actions oriented towards the public understanding of science by the different sectors of society. Some of the experiences developed in Brazil by the Institute of Physics of the University of Brasília, through its Physics Education Research Group, in association with some public schools of the federal capital and the Museum of Science and Technology of Brasilia (in implementation), are presented here.
