Focaliza algumas articulações entre educação, ciência e tecnologia, enfocando duas tendências correntes, sobre o papel da educação para a ciência e tecnologia e, em contraste, o papel da ciência e da tecnologia para a educação. As práticas científicas têm ganho grande flexibilidade nas últimas décadas. CT não está mais restrita às primitivas fronteiras, anteriormente demarcadas nos campos das ciências físicas e biológicas. Houve uma incorporação das humanidades e a inserção das tecnologias sociais. Nesta perspectiva, o artigo discute a questão da “humanização” da tecnologia, bem assim a possibilidade de reconectar ética, conhecimento e ação, com ênfase nos propósitos da educação, ciência e tecnologia com vistas à realização da cidadania. Quanto à educação superior, especificamente, o artigo analisa o assim chamado “boom” universitário, o colapso dos modelos napoleônico e humboldtiano (ambos elitistas) e a emergência do sistema americano (de acesso em massa ao ensino superior). Finalmente, discute alguns impasses peculiares à educação superior no Brasil e, em escala global, a busca por novas alternativas em resposta aos megadesafios de nosso tempo. Palavras-chave: educação superior; ciência, tecnologia e humanidades; modelos universitários; sistema brasileiro de ensino; educação cidadã. Abstract This article addresses a few central articulations among education, science and technology, by focusing on two current trends, namely the role of education for science and technology and, in contrast, the role of science and technology for education. Scientific practices have gained greater flexibility in the last decades. ST can no longer be narrowly contained within its former boundaries, previously drawn within the fields of physical and biological science. As a result, there has been an incorporation of the humanities, and the insertion of social technologies. In this perspective, the paper discusses the question of "humanization" of technology, as well as the possibility of reconnecting ethics, knowledge and action, with emphasis on the bearings of education, science and technology on the achievement of citizenship. With regard to higher education specifically, the paper analyses the so-called university boom, the collapse of the Napoleonic and Humboldtian models (both elitists) and the emergence of the American system (of mass access to higher learning). Finally, it discusses some impasses peculiar to higher education in Brazil, and, in global scale, the search for new alternatives in response to the mega challenges of our times. Keywords: higher education; science, technology and humanities; university models; brazilian model of university; education for citizenship.

The National High School Examination (ENEM) is an evaluative and selective tool for students to enter higher education. The Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (FIs) are institutions created by the Federal government with the objective of training competent professionals. The purpose of this study is to compare the content of the Physics questions of the National High School Examination (ENEM) between the years 2014 to 2018 with the curriculum content of the technical chemistry course at the Federal Institute of Amapá (IFAP). The teaching of physics in the technical course in Chemistry at IFAP does not present a division that prioritizes the subjects most present in ENEM. ENEM usually contextualizes its questions. This could be a common practice in high school physics, as it would help in your better understanding. In addition, it is necessary not to fragment the content during teaching, nor as its composition with other subjects. The IFAP technical course would not be the appropriate place of study for those who just want to finish high school. The content goes beyond what is required, but with cutouts focused on the technical part, including laboratory practices and strictly technical disciplines. The absence of interdisciplinarity and contextualization makes it difficult to absorb the content, forming students with difficulty in thinking about physics.

English is a global language, and the fact has been reiterated by various studies conducted both in native and non-native countries. In India, English, since the British era, has dominated the domains of administration, business, higher education, science and technology and mass media. Post-Independence the visibility and functionality of English increased manifold. English is everywhere on the streets: from billboards to hoardings, from advertisements to road signs, English is omnipresent. Even for petty official works in places such as banks, post offices, hospitals, railway stations, bus depots, schools and colleges, English becomes indispensable.
