摘要：The purpose of the paper is to defend that one of the most important purposes for teaching science is to problematize the media. For this, first a theoretical discussion about Freirean epistemology and education is made. In it, the role of problematization in the process of raising awareness is highlighted. Then there is a discussion about the role of the media in society, highlighting its political uses. From this discussion a review of articles on Education and Media and Media and Science Teaching is presented with the aim of highlighting the main potentialities of this approach. Finally, it is argued that only a scientific education that problematizes the media allows a critical and citizen formation.
