This article highlights the importance of exploring Science Teaching, as well as Astronomy Teaching in Teacher Training courses, in order to develop a critical and reflective perspective, which reflects practice and enables students to understand different situations in the teaching and learning process. The following research question is as follows: "In what way can the teaching of Science (can) contribute to the construction of knowledge in Astronomy, enabling the understanding of different aspects in the teaching and learning process in this area?". The general objective is to describe how Astronomy is understood by the students of the Pedagogy course, regarding the conceptions about the importance of teaching and learning its contents, inserted in the discipline of Science. The data collection comprises some questions elaborated by the authors and answered by seventeen students of a Pedagogy course, referring to knowledge in Astronomy and highlights indicators that may lead to educational gaps in this area of teaching. It is a mixed research, of qualitative and quantitative nature, because we present some quantitative results, with the use of tables, and qualitative with brief discussions about the results found, making reflections on the Teaching of Astronomy. The data allow us to identify evidence of weaknesses in the understanding of Astronomy concepts, and consequently possible difficulties in the pedagogical approach by these future Education professionals.
