Abstract
Scientific literacy is a crucial component of the comprehensive general culture promoted in Cuba within the socialist social project, thus justifying the need for comprehensive teacher training. The objective of this study was to contribute to the foundations of university-level pedagogical training that prepares scientifically literate and socially committed teachers, encompassing undergraduate, vocational, and postgraduate levels. The research was framed within a qualitative paradigm, using dialectical materialism as the general method of knowledge, along with theoretical methods of analysis and synthesis, historical-logical analysis, and systematization to construct the essential foundations that link scientific literacy with professional training. The results demonstrate the importance of training teachers capable of understanding their reality with a critical and transformative spirit, who use science, technology, and innovation to contribute to the development of a prosperous and sustainable socialism. Finally, it is concluded that comprehensiveness in pedagogical training is indispensable to guarantee not only scientific competencies but also an ethical and social commitment that promotes well-being, quality of life, and happiness in Cuban society.
