Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study assessing the level of Scientific Literacy of fifty-eight students. These students were enrolled in a course of chemistry at a University Community of Rio Grande do Sul. This study additionally included eight teachers who were trained at the Institution for more than five years. The instrument used to perform this evaluation was the Test of Basic Scientific Literacy (TBSL), created and validated by Laugksch and Spargo (1996). This data analysis is a reflection on the development of the Scientific Literacy during the teacher education in chemistry.
