A society transformed by science and technology requires competent citizens who can handle different scientific and technical knowledge. The purpose of this article is to reflect, from the STS perspective, on the social need for the treatment of citizenship education in Pre-university Education students. A non-experimental methodology was used, with an exploratory-descriptive scope, using empirical methods such as the survey and the interview. Eight teachers and 30 students of the 11th grade belonging to the IPU: “Roberto Ramírez Delgado” of the municipality of Niquero participated. The results obtained demonstrate the need to prepare individuals capable of assuming the challenges of society, the realization of new scientific research related to citizenship training and social change lies in introducing a model and a pedagogical strategy structured in phases, directions, and actions to concretize the theoretical postulates that propitiate an adequate social behavior.
