| Sumario: | The present study is derived from a research which purpose was to recognize the characteristic elements of the STS approach in the teaching practices of Energy in Physics, in fourth year in schools of Rio Cuarto, with orientation in Natural Science. It consist-ed of two complementary Studies. In Study I, Physics lesson plans of fourth year from every school in Rio Cuarto with the afore-mentioned orientation were analyzed and there were identified components which referred to aspects of the STS approach in relation to the teaching of the topic of Energy. The results show that there is a general tendency to promote students' scientific and technological alphabetization, as well as the development of general competences and proper to the approach. Study II consisted in in-depth multiple cases study, for which three teachers were selected from the previous stage and whose teaching practices were studied. Preliminary analysis of the data at this stage allows inferring that the approach was partially expressed, including different relations among science, technology and society, with different depth and complexity levels. Moreover, it is noted that, while the lesson plans included a wide and general formulation of the relations intended to be approached, these gained higher specificity and contextualization during the teaching practices within the classroom. |
