Abstract

Attitudes towards science and technology is an investigation that was carried out at the public sector educational institution Andrés Bello School in the city of San José of Cúcuta -Colombia, to students who are between 10 and 14 years old and who They are in the fifth grade of the afternoon, and teachers who work in the same institution but in Primary Basic Education, applying an instrument that was first developed and implemented in the ROSE project and where the objective was to understand the contents and the curriculum of science in different cultural contexts, but which with the passage of time was later adjusted and validated by Vázquez, Á., & Manassero, M. A. (2008) in an investigation with students from Spain.

The instrument with which the information was collected is divided into four categories such as the image of science, the image of science but in relation to the environment, science seen from the school environment and teaching science and is made up of 24 statements that are evaluated on a Likert-type scale, with 1 totally disagreeing and 10 totally agreeing.

From the results obtained, a contrast is made between students and teachers in order to have an approach to attitudes towards science and technology and thus be able to make future improvements in this field of knowledge from the educational field.
