Texto de divulgação científica; questões Sociocientíficas; educação científica.This research investigated the presence of socioscientific issues (SSIs) in popular science texts (SCTs) and their contributions to scientific education training. Based on a qualitative approach and grounded in content analysis, ten popular science texts published in the journal Ciência Hoje were examined. These texts address themes involving moral, environmental, ethical, political and social dilemmas that are configured as Socioscientific Issues of global relevance, thus indicating texts with formative potential for scientific education. Thus, the analysis of the presence of SCIs in these texts indicated that the relationship between SCTs and SSIs is based on three fundamental formative dimensions: the development of critical and politicized reading, the mobilization of scientific concepts and the stimulation of informed decision-making. These dimensions, when articulated, can favor the formation of subjects capable of understanding science as a social practice, and of looking critically at the development and application of S&T.ptBook
