• The application of an open-ended questionnaire allows us to detect some ideas about inquiry in preservice Primary teachers. A first analysis allows us to categorize the type of answers. In general, the majority of students ask for more theoretical contents about science, since they are not confidence in being involved in science teaching without this background. A great scattering of answers appears when students are asked for inquiry in the Primary classrooms. Finally, no coherent answers are detected when students declare that they want to learn “more scientific contents” (90%), whereas less than 50% of them would like to be taught about this issue.
