AB One of the main educational objectives in the current Spanish curricula is to develop mathematical andscientific competences, understood as the set of skills and abilities needed to apply Mathematics andScience in situations where are required. This is therefore closely related, on one hand, to thefunctionality of the knowledge, in the sense of its usefulness in problem solving and in mathematicaland science modeling problems. And, on the other hand, is related to the understanding of disciplinaryknowledge, a cognitive phenomenon that enables and gives competence to the individual to elaboratecontextualized and accurate answers. These answers involve the use of mathematical and scientificknowledge in some of the categories of their phenomenological and epistemological dimensions. Forthis reason, in this work we carry out a theoretical and reflexive analysis that tries to determine whichaspects of the Mathematics and Science Education should be promoted in order to optimize theformative dimension of an individual in these disciplines. This dimension, frequently forgotten inlearning and teaching processes, turns out to be, in conjunction with the functional and instrumentaldimensions, necessary to acquire the appropriate knowledge in Mathematics and Science that willenable future citizens to permanently adapt to the environment and eventually transform it positively.The results of the analysis show the components of this dimension that should be prioritized in theScience and Mathematics Education: the intellectual autonomy, understood as the ability to think forourselves and to put in use our abilities and skills to generate information to solve real life problemsand to make the right decisions; the moral autonomy, defined as the capacity to face with real lifeproblems with ethical implications; and the social autonomy, understood as the aptitude to makedecisions using social abilities and skills.
