Abstract

It is unavoidable to question the intentions of natural sciences teaching in general, judging by the few studies that report the result that teaching "Western science" has in children with traditional backgrounds. Being closely related to phenomena of modernization and social transformation, the teaching of natural sciences —especially in countries with markedly rural cultural traditions, for example non-Western— poses some problems: To what extent does it serve as a vehicle for transcultural influences? How to manage in this teaching those elements that are typical of a culture and are opposed to the accidental type of rationality?
