This paper presents the results of a research whose general objective was to characterize the meanings that future Chemistry teachers attribute to concepts in the context of learning in basic education, based on the logical-cognitive framework of the Cultural-Historical School of Psychology. 46 undergraduate students participated in the research. Data collection was conducted using a pedagogical test. The information obtained was analyzed according to Lexicon Analysis and the analysis based on the protocol by Núñez and Silva (2020). The results showed that, in general, the undergraduates confuse the chemical concept with its definition, referring to it as something or one thing and not as an image of a class determined by its essential characteristics and relations. Furthermore, they do not relate them to the processes of dialectical logical thinking. This situation highlights the importance of initial teacher formation contemplate various possibilities of this epistemological and professional teaching knowledge.
