The career of Sciences Education has a centennial presence in Argentina and in recent decades their professional field has been characterized as heterogeneous, fragmented and diffuse. This communication intends to review these characteristics comparing the strategies that graduates developed in the professional field in 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000. For this, we present advances in the analysis of data from a questionnaire given to 82 graduates of the career of Sciences Education from Universidad Nacional de La Plata, the institution where the career was opened for first time in Argentina. The results indicate that the changes produced in the professional field during the last decades respond to a collective strategy of graduates to avoid professional replaceability and neutralize the competition.
