I present the evaluation of the article “The Role of the Problem in Socioscientific Issues and the Discursive Dynamics of the Classroom,” focusing on the approach to Socioscientific Issues (SSI). The text is organized into three main sections: initially, I discuss the theoretical assumptions that guided the article's evaluation, highlighting the importance of articulating different perspectives for understanding and resolving socioscientific problems. Next, I analyze the complex and controversial nature of SSIs and how conflicts of values and ethical dilemmas are crucial in conceptualizing these issues as socioscientific. Finally, I explore some emerging perspectives for research in the field of Science Education, emphasizing the importance of a more in-depth analysis of discursive dynamics in the classroom. I also stress the need to value social and cultural interactions and adopt a holistic perspective that considers the interdependence and mutual influence between micro and macro contexts in teaching and learning processes. In this regard, I highlight that the evaluation process was significantly enriching and fostered important debates in our field.
