Abstract
The text discusses the importance of experimental activities and some conceptions
that guide their practice in Science teaching. We made some interviews and discussion meetings with teaching supervisors and Science teachers, which were recorded and transcribed. The analysis allowed to build three thematic episodes. The subjects involved indicate that experimentation is essential in educational processes, but there are some problems that make its development difficult in Science classes. In the investigative context, we have identified proofs of the presence of four conceptions of experimentation, which have been characterized in the traditional empiricist-inductivist model. We highlighted the role of courses and the creation of continuous training spaces in order to promote reflective
transformations in the development of Science teaching methodologies.
