Keywords:
Scientific-technological development, STS, natural sciences, social improvementAbstract
The science-technology-society links nowadays acquire an unavoidable momentum; education takes these social processes into account, which requires computer resources as teaching aids in the teaching-learning process. Its contribution and appropriate use in the teaching of Geography has set innovative guidelines in learning, fundamentally, by using the new Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) as means to promote comprehensive general training, and preparation for the future life of students. It is therefore an unavoidable duty of teachers to develop teaching aids in line with scientific-technological development, which is recognized as a need of Natural Sciences and STS education for the understanding of natural phenomena that intellectually stimulate students. In this work, the social impact of the use of ICT in the PEA of the subject Physical Geography III is assessed from a STS perspective since we find ourselves in a globalized world where scientific-technological development and universities play an essential role in the process of social improvement.
