The study provides an overview of the links between Scientific Dissemination (SD) and Science Education (SE) based on a qualitative meta-synthesis of 107 articles from Latin American academic literature. Content analysis revealed seven styles of connection between CS and ST, with the most prevalent being Mediation through CS Artifacts (46.4%), Social Action (45.5%), and Didactic-Pedagogical Devices (35.7%). The justifications for the articulations were grouped, with their 11 branches, into three main axes: Didactic-Pedagogical (75.6%), Epistemic-Cultural (68.4%), and Sociopolitical-Citizenship (44.1%). The overview reveals great diversity in the strategies and purposes for the articulation between DC and EC, but crossed by tensions between instrumental uses of DC and its understanding as a praxis of citizenship and critical thinking. Structural gaps in teacher training and institutional support are evident, indicating the need for further research.
