Resumen

Esta revisión sistemática de literatura explora la intersección entre las ciencias y la tecnología y su impacto social, especialmente en el contexto de la educación superior. El artículo inicia destacando la creciente importancia de las ciencias y la tecnología en la sociedad contemporánea, señalando cómo han transformado diversos aspectos de la vida cotidiana y han emergido como campos clave en la educación superior. El núcleo del artículo se centra en cómo las ciencias y la tecnología no solo son áreas de conocimiento en sí mismas, sino también cómo influyen en el desarrollo social y cultural. Se subraya la importancia de integrar una perspectiva crítica y reflexiva en los currículos, incentivando a los estudiantes a considerar las consecuencias de largo alcance de su trabajo en la sociedad. Se discuten ejemplos concretos donde la integración de un enfoque social ha enriquecido el aprendizaje, y casos que ilustran las repercusiones sociales de la tecnología y la ciencia. Finalmente, el artículo concluye enfatizando que la incorporación de un enfoque social en la enseñanza de las ciencias y la tecnología en la educación superior no es solo una necesidad educativa, sino también una responsabilidad ética. Se propone que tal enfoque prepara mejor a los estudiantes para ser ciudadanos conscientes, capaces de contribuir positivamente a un mundo cada vez más interconectado y tecnológicamente avanzado.
