In this article we present some results of a research about thedidactical uses of images in science education. Using categories derived from previous research (Otero, 2002; Otero Moreira y Greca, 2002) we developed a questionnaire, answered by 239 teachers from secondary and universitary levels, to determined the ideas these teachers have about the images. We used three analyses methodologies: a descriptive analyse, a factorial analyse of multiple correspondence and a qualitative analyse. The results obtained indicate that more than half of these teachers have naïve conceptions about the external representations, conceptions that can be resumed as derived from “popular psychology”. We think these results can orient new researches to understand the reasons that support the spontaneous didactical uses detected in didactical materials and in classrooms. Keywords: conceptions, images, teachers. Keywords: conceptions, images, teachers.
