Resumo: Geoscience teachers use models to help students to learn phenomenon, because they simplify the explanation of abstract scientific theories. For that reason, modelling is an important tool to be used in geosciences classrooms to help students to understand theories. However, resorting to that strategy implies that teachers recognize its importance and are prepared to guide students in their learning processes through modelling. In the present research we analyse the views of Portuguese science teachers about geosciences models covered by Portuguese science curriculum. Data analysis led us to the conclusion that the majority of teachers have solid scientific knowledge regarding the geosciences models. It’s crucial that teachers understand scientific models, so they can present them clearly to students, through a model-based approach.
