Summary/Abstract: Within the European Project “PROFILES”, a study on science education has been carried out. The opinion of different stakeholders has been taken into account and in Italy almost 200 participants have answered questionnaire concerning several aspects of teaching. The results have shown that scientific literacy should be based mainly on the development of communication skills/personality and on the improvement of intellectual skills. The study has highlighted that approaches judged more effective are not really common in the current educational panorama.
