Résumé

El modo en que las cuestiones de dominio - entendido como disciplina de formación - influyen sobre lasconcepciones epistemológicas de los docentes, ha dado lugar a dos grandes líneas de investigación: la quesupone que las concepciones sobre el conocimiento son generales y trascienden los dominios y la que sugiereque son influidas por la naturaleza de la disciplina de formación y por el grado y la profundidad de dichaformación. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la influencia que tienen las cuestiones de dominio sobre elcontenido de las epistemologías personales de docentes universitarios de ciencias. Se realizó un estudio conun diseño ex post facto prospectivo simple. La muestra, no probabilística, estuvo compuesta por cien docentesuniversitarios formados en matemática, química, física y biología de la Universidad Nacional de Mar delPlata, Argentina. Se establecieron dos variables: V1: Concepciones sobre el conocimiento y V2: Dominio deFormación y se analizaron sus posibles asociaciones. El instrumento utilizado para recolectar datos fue uncuestionario de dilemas validado previamente. Los resultados obtenidos aportan evidencia empírica a la líneade investigación que sostiene que el dominio de formación influye en las concepciones sobre el conocimientocientífico de los docentes y que su influencia es mayor a medida que aumenta la experiencia académica.
