RUIZ CASTILLO, Sandra Elvira. Science education from different cultural and environmental contexts: didactic contributions to the curriculum. Prax. Saber [online]. 2021, vol.12, n.31, pp.52-68.  Epub 20-Abr-2022. ISSN 2216-0159.  https://doi.org/10.19053/22160159.v12.n31.2021.11101.

This article emphasizes the need to connect science education with cultural and environmental diversity, for the pedagogical and didactic construction of school science, in order to integrate the world of life with the interactions generated in it for the construction of knowledge. The objectives were to find the meanings given by elementary and middle school teachers to the connection between the cultural and environmental context in science education; and to analyze their ideas and meaningful experiences. The methodology had a qualitative aspect which, on the ontological side, approached a culturally diverse and subjective reality; and a hermeneutic aspect, due to the type of interpretative analysis of data. In the results, it is highlighted the construction of categories to integrate the cultural and environmental context in the didactic constructs to promote learning, in which both science as a cultural construction and the contributions for the curricular transformation when integrating characteristics of the territory are recognized.
