Approaches between integral science and the blood flow of science: contributions to science education

In this article, we propose integrating Bruno de Latour's thinking, specifically on the Blood Flow of Science, with Douglas Allchin's integral approach to allow for possible advances in the Nature of Science approach and its implications for Science Education. As such, we point out that the circle of links and nodes in the blood flow of science was proposed as a link between both approaches, as it permeates all the points of the integration proposal and can enable Science Education that is committed to a better world, without being reduced to scientism, but which is appropriate in a correct and coherent way for the full exercise of citizenship by all students. With this in mind, we are aware that the process of internalizing science will not be easy and will take place gradually, as this is the only way it will be possible for people in general to use it and, from then on, there will be an increase in trust in science and the identification that it is not the holder of all truths, but is homeostatic, in the sense of keeping personal convictions in internal balance and also to explain the world, without suffering variations from the external effect of anti-science movements propagated through Fake News on social networks.
