The purpose of this article was to examine how science teacher educators perceived the changes that took place in the formal way of educating junior school and high school science teachers, due to the implementation of the Bologna process guidelines. The findings reveal that participants are not concerned with the change in the type of degree required for teaching. However, they stated that they are concerned about the teaching practice and the science to be taught components. They believe that these components should be strengthened in the post-Bologna masters in teaching. The authors argue that the changes were introduced in Portuguese educational laws. These changes were proved to be consistent with the participants' opinions.
