This article presents parameters and educational purposes of STS Education, present in the Brazilian context of science education.

The STS Education parameters are related to scientific rationality, technological development and social participation. The educational purposes involve the development of perceptions, questions and social commitments. From these analyses was possible to recognize and locate intentions and, furthermore, explain reasons for choices, referrals, limits and potential of different STS approaches.
