SOTO COLOBALLES, Natalia Verónica. Science, university and the environmental crisis in the 21st century. Rev. educ. sup [online]. 2022, vol.51, n.203, pp.1-14.  Epub 29-Mayo-2023. ISSN 0185-2760.  https://doi.org/10.36857/resu.2022.203.2215.

The text explains why science, school and university are also responsible for the ecological crisis. It shows how in the framework of modernity and the capitalist system, nature is exploited and its study is biased in scientific disciplines, whose methods and values are inculcated in schools and universities. Therefore, these educational entities are responsible for training us as consumers-competitive-citizens. However, sciences have played a contradictory role. On one hand, they have been necessary for the recognition and analysis of the problem and, on the other hand, they have introduced the use of new energies and materials, which have had disastrous consequences for the environment.

Palabras llave : Epistemic crisis; University; School; Environment; Transdiscipline; Climate change.
