The present article investigates the Social Representations, theory proposed by Serge Moscovici, of 190 students of Biological Sciences of the Universidade Federal de Santa Maria between the years of 2016 and 2018 of the future professions: teacher and biologist. Using questionnaires we got the profile of the students of this course, as well as their representations of the professional activities. We have collected 332 different words that help to characterize the academic identity of the students from the inductive terms “teacher is” and “biologist is”. When asked about the biologist the answers spin around the words ´researcher´, ´curious´, ´love´, and ´important´. While the answers about teacher focused on ´educator´, ´teach´ and ´essential´. The results we found contribute to studies of teacher/biologist training and curricular reforms and adaptations of the Biological Sciences courses.
