Why is it important?
Solving problems how-ever requires not only knowledge but also communicative and strategic and speculative activity. Thus, education must emphasize the main visions of scientific literacy and transdisciplinary perspectives proposed in the literature, supporting students to un-derstand society and everyday socio-scientific challenges from the local to global level and to deal with differing scientific results and uncertain information.
Perspectives
Our article presents findings and conclusions that provide opportunities for further work and provide insights into science and educational sustainability practice.
