The 21st century presents itself to humanity as a change of era, in a scenario of crisis and even collapse: technological / belligerent / environmental.  Artificial intelligence in its relationships with infotechnology and biotechnology and the possible consequences in digital dictatorships, the global war situation that threatens peace and generates insecurity (food, water, energy and territorial), and in the environmental and health crisis of climate change and pandemic diseases, associated with pollution and the loss of biological and cultural diversity, demand a “global change”, in the form of a kind of “human reset” that reorients humanity's project on planet Earth.

Faced with this complex and urgent situations, “science education” is required to have a “socio-political turn” that articulates facts, values ​​and practices to support political and citizen participation in the solution of socio-environmental issues, increasingly arising in contexts of conspiracy, post-truth, pseudoscience, fraud and science denial.

In this issue of Sisyphus, we’re looking for contributions from science education in its relationship with citizenship education, environmental education, education for sustainable development, technological education and intercultural education, to analyze different pedagogical and didactics situations in which these topics are addressed.
