Abstract
The conceptions that pre-service teachers have regarding their scientific education are clearly influenced by their personal experiences and, particularly, by scientific education they have received. From a constructivist perspective, it is fundamental to start from such conceptions when planning their Education as Science teachers. This study presents scientific education conceptions from a 328 pre-service teachers sample with specializations in Preschool and Primary School before having started the Didactics in Experimental Sciences education. The program is structured from three concepts: conceptual, attitudinal and ideological. And it is from these three concepts and from the categories emerging when analyzing text written by the students in the activity “My Science classes” that their conceptions are analyzed. The results show that the pre-service teachers’ conceptions are focused on the conceptual and ideological approaches being the attitudinal approach less relevant. Similarly, few connections are established between the three approaches, showing a fragmented, excluding relationship.
