Abstract

The present article describes a research carried out with four student teachers of primary and secondary science education. The preservice teachers’ conceptions of the nature of science and learning and teaching of science were analyzed and compared with their classroom practice when teaching science lessons. Transfer of the conceptions to the classroom was not immediate and there was influence from other factors. Lastly the implications of the research for teacher education are discussed.
