The research, which involved 1260 students, was conducted over three academicyears, between 2008 and 2011. This study is based on the analysis of a questionnaire modifiedfrom INPECIP. It shows that the participants do not have a clear understanding of howscientific knowledge is generated and evolve. Roughly, the image of science does not depend ongender or if their Secondary studies was related to scientific disciplines. Neither depends onthe specific Primary Teacher Program degree. Nevertheless, nuance differences are detected,and discussed in this paper.Downloads
