Abstract: Science Didactics has different influences whose curricular traditions focus on teaching disciplinary knowledge (anglo-American) to Bildung (German). This involves self-education, self-cultivation and considers the student in multiple dimensions, not just the intellectual one. Bildung has historically undergone different interpretations, such as Greek, theological and Enlightenment, which leads it to lose strength in modernity. Hans-Georg Gadamer was a philosopher who sought to rescue the current status of Bildung in order to think about self-education as an understanding of oneself from the other. The objective of this article is to present Gadamer's Bildung as a comprehensive horizon for Science Education that can be a path to an ontological turn in the field. Among the consequences of this approach, the need to understand the relationships in SE in terms of an experience between students, teachers and the world based on a hermeneutic consciousness that cultivates an attitude of alterity in the face of the new stands out.
