| Abstract | In this research, we aim to know pre-service teachers’ perceptions about a training program on models and modelling in which they participated. Using a semi-open questionnaire, we analyzed the opinion of 70 PTs’ about the course and about their future teaching of science. Results show that PTs highly value modelling activities as useful to learn science but suggest other tasks are also necessary to construct their scientific knowledge, which makes us rethink our instructional modelling cycle. PTs are aware of the methodological approach used in the training context and most of them state they would teach this way in the future. Nevertheless, they also mention the big challenges of this methodology and suggest to combine modelling with other approaches to teaching and learning, such as context-based or inquiry-based. |
