Abstract
The debate on science has been gaining expression in multiple spaces, such as the school. The main objective of the investigation was to analyze the perceptions and representations of science of junior scientific initiation fellows. To this end, a descriptive investigation was carried out with 9 scholarship students, students of elementary school at the College of Application at UFRGS. The data collection instrument was a questionnaire structured in 3 parts: sample characterization; statements on the Likert scale; open questions about science. The collected information was submitted to content analysis. The results showed that the subjects recognize science as a necessary institution, placing confidence in their action. The actions and content related to science, as well as the desires and expectations of results of professionals in the scientific field were verified. The representations of subjects about science are presented in categories: instrument; knowledge; search; amplitude; types of knowledge. It is possible to consider, therefore, that the luggage brought by the students must be used as a reference, allowing the exploration of scientific and pedagogical horizons.
