This paper analyses the theme of teachers' research and the ways it may be perceived in our own educational environment, constituted by the wide-ranging field of the Information Science carried on throughout Brazil. Considering the consequences of misperceptions, it alerts to the need for creating a more favorable environment towards teachers' research; mainly, towards research intended for pedagogical action. Such research will strengthen considerably the undergraduate education imparted in IS courses, existing and being offered in 2002 at 40 Brazilian institutions of High-Education.
