Abstract
Science news highlights the importance of including axiological elements of scientific activity in science teaching processes, as an alternative to overcome traditional conceptions of scientific knowledge, based on an epistemology without a subject and aseptic to human evaluations. Taking into account the axiological perspective can allow a significant citizen scientific training; where they are promoted from the relationships that take place in the school classroom, values of science from an approach that enables the transformation and humanization of this knowledge in the educational context, while being consistent with the dynamics of science and contemporary society. To develop these ideas, the research was approached from a qualitative-descriptive methodological approach of documentary analysis type, which allowed establishing contrasts, interpretations and critical reflections between ideas of the philosophy of science and the teaching of natural sciences with respect to the values of scientific activity and its implications in the pedagogical and didactic field. Elements that revealed some guidelines to think about the educational processes of science and highlight the ethical dimension in contemporary science as a fundamental axis to understand science in sociocultural contexts.
