This study aims to reflect upon forming citizens based on the approach of Scientific and Technological Literacy (STL). The starting point of this research was the broad understanding of STL, which has become a challenge in Basic Education, in that schools need to transcend the traditional and bookish education still being practiced in the school curriculums. Regarding its methodological procedures, it is a bibliographic research with a qualitative approach. Articles focusing on this topic where selected in specialized digital journals. Analysis of the articles collected indicate that the STL actions, used concomitantly with other human skills, may contribute to students’ development, by promoting their autonomy and critical awareness.
