SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY THROUGH THE PRISM OF EDUCATION

Abstract

The current article examines various concepts of technology, science, engineering, scientific knowledge, technical knowledge, technical knowledge, empirical knowledge and their respective implications in the social context.  Both theoretical and practical knowledge are products of knowledge and are built step by step in the process of social interaction. This knowledge is a cultural heritage of societies and is under constant construction and reconstruction. Science and technology are historical products and social knowledge organized and systematized in continuous creativity.  The concepts of science, technology, and society and education as a social institution are closely related, as they both recognize the interconnectedness of technology, society, and education. The STS framework is an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes the interdependence of scientific knowledge, technological development, and societal values and norms. According to this framework, science and technology are not neutral or objective entities, but are shaped by and shape social, cultural, economic, and political factors. STS scholars argue that understanding the social context of science and technology is essential for developing ethical and effective policies and practices.
