Abstract: There is agreement among researchers that one of the main objectives of scientific literacy is that all students understand Scientific Inquiry (SI). Even with many educational proposals guided by SI, there is still a difficulty to assess learners' notions about it. From this perspective, Lederman et al. (2014) published the VASI questionnaire, which evaluates the understanding of students from different countries about SI. The results presented in this paper represent the Brazilian sample. The objective was to evaluate the notions of scientific investigation of the elementary students from private and public schools. Analyzing the responses of students, it can be considered that they can conceptualize some aspects of the nature of scientific inquiry, but cannot identify them in real situations.
