| description | We analysed the potential differences between the conceptions of Serbian
pre-service and in-service teachers using controlled parameters such as
acceptance of the evolution theory. Our sample includes Primary School
teachers as well as Secondary School teachers of Biology and of Language. We
show that the ideas of pre-service (PreB) and in-service biology teachers
(InB) are more evolutionary than those of their colleagues. In contrast, most
creationist responses came from the groups of pre-service language (PreL) and
pre-service primary teachers (PreP). The agnostic teachers are more
evolutionist than other teachers. The more a teacher believes in God and
practices religion, the more creationist he or she is, but a great number of
teachers who believe in God are evolutionist or simultaneously evolutionist
and creationist. There is a positive correlation between evolutionist answers
and the attitude that „Science and religion should be separated“, and
„religion and politics should be separated“. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke
