dc.description.abstract
The framework of primary and secondary STEM education has given engineering education an unprecedented role until now. However, this centrality is not supported by a solid framework from a didactic point of view, resulting in superfluous and lacking proposals. This communication addresses three questions that point to the future of engineering teaching in school: What literacy in engineering should be promoted? What engineering practices should school develop among students? What are the central ideas that should be taught in schools? Taking as a reference the more consolidated and well-founded field of research on science education, we propose a list of engineering practices and a first approximation of engineering core ideas in order to bring an engineering epistemological perspective in school STEM education.
