Since they appeared, the studies of Science, Technology & Society (STS) have been interested in education as the key to help the citizens of tomorrow to participate in the discussions dealing with the future of technoscience. In Spain, the STS subjects became part of the secondary school programs since the educational reform. Nevertheless, the analysis of the textbooks used in Catalonia shows that a deterministic vision of science & technology - both of them thought as entities with their own logic of development, independent from social reality - coexists with a neutralistic conception, which considers technoscience as a basic tool that can be used by humanity either in a correct or an incorrect way. The student has the perception that science & technology shape the social reality, but that are somehow independent from society.
Agustí Nieto-Galan, professor i catedràtic d'Història de la Ciència de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), ha publicat el llibre "The Politics of Chemistry. Science and Power in Twentieth-Century Spain". Aquesta obra analitza el paper polític dels químics a l'Espanya del segle XX, i la seva col·laboració en projectes acadèmics, militars i industrials. Les molècules, en aparença neutrals i objectives, esdevenen mediadors flexibles, que uneixen les ambicions professionals a ideologies sovint contraposades. ; Agustí Nieto-Galan, catedrático de Historia de la Ciencia de la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB), ha publicado el libro The Politics of Chemistry.
