Abstract

The main objective of the Environment, Science, Technology and Society approach (ESTS) in science education is to develop scientific literacy in students, preparing them for the exercise of active and conscious citizenship. This view of education must be considered in curriculum guidelines and other documents governing the educational activity. An analytical tool to determine if the ESTS perspective is integrated into the curriculum documents has been developed. Its construction has been done in five stages on the basis of data and considerations of recent research in science education, as well as various tools already used in the ESTS perspective. This instrument has been publicly presented, debated and reformulated according to the suggestions received, and has been validated by experts. It is concluded that the proposal represents an effective tool to achieve the established objectives.
