Science fiction can be used as a pedagogical aid for the teaching, popularizing, critical reflection and promotion of science and technology. A teaching experience is described in which science fiction stories (novels, short stories, movies and short films) were used exclusively to impart a Science, Technology and Society Studies Course for undergraduate students of the Library Science program, in the Interamerican School of Library Science, Antioquia University, during the first semester of 2014. The course was structured as a reading and writing workshop, supplemented with thematical discussions and exercises. The results were satisfactory, showcasing the students creativity and critical thinking. Several recommendations and resources are presented for other teachers who wish to emulate or adapt the experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La ciencia ficción puede ser utilizada como una herramienta pedagógica para la enseñanza, la divulgación, la reflexión critica y el fomento de la ciencia y la tecnología. Describimos una experiencia docente en la cual se utilizaron exclusivamente historias de ciencia ficción (novelas, cuentos, películas y cortometrajes) para dictar un curso de Estudios en Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad para estudiantes del pregrado en bibliotecología, en la Escuela Interamericana de Bibliotecología de la Universidad de Antioquia, durante el primer semestre de 2014. El curso toma la forma de un taller de lectura y escritura creativa, suplementado con talleres y discusiones temáticas. Los resultados fueron satisfactorios, demostrando la creatividad y reflexividad de los estudiantes. Presentamos varias recomendaciones y recursos para otros docentes que deseen replicar o adaptar la experiencia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
