This text discusses the professional performance spaces of graduates in Natural / Nature Sciences in the state education systems in Brazil. The work aimed to know and also understand how the state teaching systems, through their legal understandings, recognize and define the spaces of professional performance of graduates in Natural / Nature Sciences. A documentary research was carried out, in which the manifestations of seven state councils were identified, through resolutions, opinions and other documents. From the analyzed documents, it was possible to perceive that those councils that gave their opinion on the theme establish a list of various backgrounds, which, according to these bodies, form professionals capable of teaching the discipline of sciences in the final years of elementary school. Although the degree in Natural Sciences / Nature is among these formations, there seems to be a predilection for the teaching systems for undergraduate courses they form for specific disciplinary fields. In this perspective, they seek to meet their management needs, to the detriment of the training needs of the Science discipline. Consequently, the priority given by the education systems to their operational demands and their apparent lack of knowledge about degrees in Natural / Nature Sciences make the professionals graduating from these courses have difficulties to have their professional space recognized in these education systems.

Keywords : Science teacher education; State education systems; Graduates in Natural/Nature Sciences.
