SCHLIERF, Katharina. La enseñanza Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS) en el entorno universitario politécnico: La metodología de la descripción de controversias en la Escuela de Minas de París. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.15, pp.73-93. ISSN 1850-0013.

The wish to introduce university students of scientific or technological degrees into questions belonging to the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS) has lead in the last decades to the development of more than a few pedagogical experiments. We want to contribute to this innovation process by presenting a pedagogical proposal that has been developed on the theoretical and methodological basis of the so-called Sociology of Translation, also known as Actor-Network Theory: the methodology 'description of controversies', that the Center for the Sociology of Innovation offers at the Paris School of Mines for already more than fifteen years. In this article, we present an analysis of the two courses taught, based on interviews, observation and the participation in one of them. Based on this analysis, we extract conclusions about the interest of the methodology for the integration of STS concepts into engineering education.

Keywords : STS teaching; Pedagogy; Methodology; Polytechnic university.
