Resumen
This paper analyzes the challenges of teaching chemistry from the perspective of feminist studies in the philosophy of science, linked to the obstacles arising from Science, Technology, and Society (STS) studies. We begin by considering the conception of knowledge and, specifically for chemistry, the concept of practice, which has contributed to a better understanding of the field itself. However, we turn to feminist epistemology to understand how science has been shaped by androcentric assumptions, excluding other epistemic subjects, and promoting a homogeneous vision. Therefore, we propose a reflection on the teaching of chemistry and the challenges it faces in the 21st century. This reflection goes beyond the learning of chemical concepts, aiming to analyze and include previously overlooked aspects and to advocate for a broader worldview—one that maximizes the understanding of the phenomena we seek to describe and comprehend. This, without a doubt, will enrich the scientific landscape, particularly in terms of research problems and applications that address a plural society, free from androcentric and universal biases.
