Abstract

In this article the author tries to demonstrate that there is a great necessity of setting up strong links between both the research and the teaching worlds. This turns up to be rather easy, since the path of education is a simplified and planned traject through the history of our society, where children learn the discoveries and the inventions that are the base of our culture. At the same time, it includes some considerations about the scientific background of teachers, the contents they transmit to their students and the way in which this contents are offered. Therefore the aim is to make much simpler the teaching of science at school, such as it has been done in the countries around Spain since the beginning of the 70's.
