| Sumario: | We present the results of quantitative research that has sought to infer and compare the level of scientific literacy of students entering and those who finish physics graduation courses in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The study is justified by the aspiration to know the impact of academic experience on the scientific training of future teachers who are in the process of initial training. To do this, a reduced version of the Basic Scientific Literacy Test (TACB) was used. Specifically, this research sought to infer stu-dents' knowledge into the three dimensions of scientific literacy: understanding the scientific content, the nature of scientific research and the impact of science on society and the atmosphere. The results showed that there are differences in the average of correct answers between the start and end of the courses studied. By means of a t-test of independent samples, these differ-ences could be considered statistically significant. These findings accompany the results they describe in researching the Chemis-try and Biology courses from this perspective. |
