STS stands for "science, technology and society". STS research or STS education takes an approach to problems of interaction of science/technology and society. Our attitudes to sceince/technology can be devided to four types, that is, 1) high literacy and high affinity, 2) low literacy and high affinity, 3) low literacy and low affinity and 4)high literacy and low affinity. STS educaion is necessary for all persons belonging to the any types of these four. Sometimes STS education is regarded as a tool for type 3) students. Thought of "science through STS" is the example of that. But STS education is no tool or an expedient for teaching scientific knowledges. The revaluation of science or considering of "science in social context" is a main point of STS. The thought of "social constraction of scientific knowledge" is the fruit of STS research. STS education based upon STS research is needed for all students as general education in undergraduate. It forms both common sense for today's citizens and basis for STS speciallists.
