A questionnaire was used to collect the opinion of teachers regarding the possibility of teaching how to write scientific texts. Other questions inquired about what writing activities they propose to their students and the objectives pursued by those activities. Following the writing experience proposed by the teachers, they were asked if they had problems to develop the text and if they would propose scientific writing activities within Biology classes. A conclusion of this experience is that the practice of writing, as suggested in this work, is still a pending task within Biology classes. En el marco de un taller de capacitación docente, en el que se propuso elaborar dos textos, uno de divulgación científica y otro argumentativo. Se indagó a través de un cuestionario la opinión de los docentes con respecto a la posibilidad de enseñar a escribir textos científicos, se preguntó qué actividades de escritura proponen a los estudiantes y los objetivos que persiguen con las mismas. Luego de la experiencia de escritura propuesta a los docentes, se consultó si habían tenido dificultades para desarrollar el texto y si propondrían la escritura de textos científicos en las clases de biología. Una de las conclusiones a las que se arriba es que la práctica de la escritura, tal como se propone en este trabajo, es una tarea pendiente en las clases de Biología.
