Faced with the relevance of science in postmodernity and its contribution to humanity, students' conception of science and scientific doing became the object of academic study. This research analyzed the conceptions about science and the scientific job in students of a Public Normal Course of the South of Brazil, future teachers of the Initial Years of Elementary Education. A qualitative-comprehensive, interpretive methodology was used, based on participants' answers to an open question and graphic representation about science and scientists, using Hermeneutic Phenomenological Analysis (HPA). We was concluded that, for these participants, science is, basically, an experimental assignment and uses the standard scientific method, being practiced by men with poor social life, moved by a high idealism. At the end of this article, the implications of these conceptions on the future pedagogical practices of these participants are commented.
