In this paper we intend to establish the idea that a scientific formation can be an adequate background for future citizens to face the uncertainties of their own time. However, this requires questioning the distorted view of science given by society and, more particularly, by education. This article analyzes the origin of the contradiction between scientists activity and its interpretation in society and education and presents some alternative proposals to overcome it.
