In the last few years, there has been a significant growth of interest in science teacher education. An analysis of recent science teacher education research is offered in this paper. This study answers the major question: What does research tell us about the recent trends in teacher preparation? We are beginning to understand that in the in-service or pre-service training is it very important to know the effects of: a) a limited content knowledge, b) the «commonsense» conceptions, behaviors and attitudes about different aspects of science teaching; c) the need of integration «knowledge -practice» in programs of teacher education and that; d) theses obstacles to didactic knowledge adquisition alone will be overcome when the teachers are placed in a situation wt ich explicitly demands a collective reflection through the research.
