The authors of this article with their colleagues have published a series of texts since 2000, based on the idea that issues related to teaching and learning of SE are strongly connected with social and political issues/choices on one hand and with epistemological/ philosophical aspects of science on the other. This scheme forms a hypothesis of a strong relation between social/political issues and epistemological/philosophical issues of science. Data supporting the above hypothesis are limited in the field of the SE. However the interaction between Science and Politics (with emphasis on Politics' impact on factors formulating the view and evolution of Science) has been systematically studied for the last 20 years with regard to the evolving changes of teaching and learning goals and also to the end of the Cold War. In this article it is considered that this kind of studies are of great importance for SE and an attempt is made to present and analyze -from an educational aspect of view- some interesting conclusions that have been published in two recent books.
