Abstract

CUDMANI, Leonor C. de. "Cuestiones que plantean las concepciones posmodernas en la enseñanza de las ciencias: visiones de científicos destacado de la historia". Ciênc. educ. (Bauru) [online]. 2001, vol.7, n.2, pp. 155-168. ISSN 1516-7313.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1516-73132001000200002.

The article discusses the influence that could really have in scientific education the degree of truth of new scientific conceptions. Constructivistic models outline a relativistic position for rationality, progress and truth, but, hich is the limit for this position? The debate is installed in academic environments, at the media and at the levels of decision in educational policy. Should we prepare future professors to construct critical positions to this question?
