Reflections on the concept of "Life and the Origin of Life" have, over the years, aroused the concern of researchers, who corroborate the deepening of understanding about the theme. As a way to broaden the discussions on the subject, we developed this research, with the objective of understanding what the teachers who teach the curricular component of Sciences in the early years of Elementary School on the concepts of "Life and the Origin of Life" think. ". The data of this investigation emerged from the doctoral and master's research in progress of two of the authors of this article. A study was carried out from the workshop Conception of Life and the Origin of Life, carried out with teachers working in elementary school early years in a municipality in the state of Paraná. The officer was part of the Collaborative Group of Didactic-Scientific Literacy (GC-ADC), locus of the research. The qualitative research was constituted through data collection with a questionnaire containing open and objective questions about the themes. The data were analyzed using content analysis as reference. At the end of the investigation it was noticed that many educators present perceptions about the concept of "life" related to the scientific/biological perspective, on the other hand, when questioned about "the origin of life", many related the concepts to creationism. The justifications presented in general are simplistic and require greater theoretical and scientific support, so we suggest the need to provide teachers with a Continuing Education that addresses the theme in question as one of the spoils for the improvement of teaching
