Sumario:The quantitative results of a research that focused on measuring the level of Scientific Literacy of Physics undergraduates in an interval of one year are presented. Through a questionnaire called the Test of Basic Scientific Literacy, 31 students from different physics courses in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, participated in data collection in two moments, initially in the second semester of 2019 and then in the second semester of 2020. Through statistical tests, it was verified the hypothesis of there being a differ-ence between the performances in the questionnaire in the two moments inferred. There was a significant increase in the mean number of correct answers, and, thus, possible hypotheses for the explanation of this event are discussed, as well as methodo-logical referrals that can help deepen the investigation.
