Percepción de los docentes y alumnos de la institución educativa La Sierra de Medellín, grados décimo y undécimo, sobre estudios en Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad-CTS-

With this thesis the studies in Science, Technology and Society-STS- are approached, as an approach in the world scenario, specially articulated to the new State policies towards an integrated development which the educational institutions have appropriated worldwide and of which Colombia has not been the exception. Its approach alludes mainly to the human factor, constituted by the scientific community and by the people who collaborate in favor of this activity. Their perspective has been addressed, initially from the social factor conformed by the set of relationships, whether in societies, groups and work teams, among others. From the cognitive factor, it includes both the processes necessary to generate the theoretical, methodological or practical knowledge, as well as the informal media (conferences, exchanges of articles already published) or formal (scientific journals, manuals) of the scientific community. The objective of the study is to diagnose the perceptions of teachers and students of the I.E. La Sierra, about the STS studies, and the way in which the pedagogical strategies are designed to achieve the mainstreaming of the same in its educational model and curricular plan articulated to the PEI. The ethnographic qualitative approach study takes into account the different actors involved in the teaching and learning process, that is, it addresses the appreciation of students and teachers, in order to determine the way in which the educational process has been articulated in terms of pedagogical strategies that allow students to contextualize, curricularly, the role of STS studies, as a transversal platform for an integral formation of the future professional that the country demands. The actors demand the importance of promoting research in the classroom in response to the guidelines established by the Ministry of National Education-MEN-, regarding competency-based training, therefore it is necessary to undertake a continuous training program, in order to that the process results in the formation of more critical and analytical students, improving their academic performance and encouraging their continuity in higher education
