Description
Summary:Colombia was a catholic country until the last decade of the twentieth century due to in nineteenth century the state established an official compromise with the Vatican to preserve the religious dogmas including them even within the educational process. Thus, to understand the history of science education is necessary to take account of the relationship between religion and science. On the basis of critical and interpretative research about the circulation of Darwinism into biology school textbooks, published in Colombia between the second half of the 19th until the first middle of the twentieth century, we show how catholic politic an ideological agenda projected in a catholic framework, and the citizenship construction interacted not only in the way what Darwinism was perceived but also in the way in which science was taught.
