Most of the modern technological applications we use in our daily life originate from progress Nanoscience–Nanotechnology (NST). The projection, showing great impact that these advances are going to have on society, exhorts science education researchers incorporate field into educational contexts. Among several issues be dealt with, NST’s significance comes fore. This pilot study aims examine whether both nano-trained primary school teachers and students acknowledge need for inclusion NST content Fourteen ten students, after their participation an training course, were interviewed order provide justifications. results show vast majority participants NST. main arguments associated with career possibilities, relevance everyday life, nanoliteracy attainment. this can used by formulate a structure nanoeducation.
