Abstract
The research aim was to characterize the professional training of pre-service biology teachers in scientific skills. A (1) content analysis of annotations and syllabus of discipline-specific courses and (2) a questionnaire survey focused on students' perceptions of the importance, selfcompetence, and higher education preparation were conducted.
Students perceived scientific skills as important, however their preparation as insufficient. This is matched by the low proportion of courses considering these skills (14% and 26%).
