Abstract

The low quality and relevance at all educational levels remain a problem present in education in Colombia, limiting the training and development of skills for work and for life. The above is evidenced in the results of the country in standardized tests. Colombia occupies one of the last places the two most recognized international tests (TIMMS and PISA); In fact, it is considered that ―at the international level, one of the benchmarks for measuring scientific competences is the PISA tests, which assess the knowledge, skills, and scientific attitudes of 15-year-old students in different countries. In 2006, PISA tests were applied to young Colombians. While it is true that the test results show the motivation of young Colombians to project in the scientific field (those evaluated had high scores in the subcompetence of identification of scientific phenomena), the country lags in other competences that are more related Direct with innovation processes, such as explaining scientific events and using scientific evidence. This article resulted from the research project: ―Strengthening of citizen and democratic culture in CT + I through the iep supported in ICT in the Department of Magdalena financed by SIGR funds - General System of Royalties.
