Resumen. La cultura científica de personas adultas es una preocupación recurrente desde hace décadas, abordándose su medición desde estrategias cuantitativas, recurso privilegiado sin resultados contundentes; Objetivos: Este trabajo explora nuevas estrategias cualitativas para la valoración de la cultura científica de los ciudadanos más allá de la enseñanza formal, complementando así los trabajos cuantitativos fundamentados en cuestionarios, procedimiento hegemónico hasta el momento a escala mundial; Métodos: La entrevista estructurada realizada con tres grupos homogéneos de personas adultas, diferenciados atendiendo a su actividad laboral o formación postobligatoria alejadas de la ciencia, se dividió en dos bloques de preguntas abiertas, apoyándose el segundo en la lectura por parte del participante de una propaganda publicitaria. Resultados: Se advierten: a) una fuerte vinculación entre la actitud emocional de las personas y la metodología docente en sus inicios escolares; b) una hegemónica visión tradicional de la ciencia y; c) una marcada diferencia en aspectos cognitivos entre quienes cursaron niveles más altos de la enseñanza Secundaria, referidos al pensamiento formal y al uso de modelos. Conclusiones: Esta estrategia de valoración de la cultura científica es acorde con las implementadas desde perspectivas cuantitativas si bien aporta nuevas dimensiones,
<p style="text-align: justify;">Scientific culture has been a concern for decades in the developed world, giving rise to conceptual changes known as paradigms. The first one is the longstanding literacy paradigm, defined by the skills and knowledge acquired at the education institution. It has been followed by the public understanding of science paradigm, related to the scientific understanding and an allegedly subsequent positive attitude towards science. Lastly, the engagement with science paradigm or science and society paradigm involves people's implications about the science-technology controversies with significant social impact. This article reflects how science teaching has evolved along the years in line with the scientific culture's conceptual shifts. It is concluded that this triad of paradigms is thus of a school nature, given that educational fields have suffered from transformation processes under the same vision of the world (world view), which has also changed the concept of scientific culture. Individuals in a research community learn ways of thinking, feeling and acting and therefore cannot help feeling a liking for what is short-lived and has not taken roots, both inside and outside the school in our postmodern age</p>
