Uuringu eesmärk oli välja selgitada loodusteaduste õpetajate valmisolek kasutada karjääriteadlikkuse kujundamisele suunatud stsenaariume loodusteadusliku kirjaoskuse arendamisel. Kasutasime viit uuringu jaoks koostatud kontekstipõhist loodusteadusliku karjääriteadlikkusega seotud stsenaariumi. Igas neist tutvustati sotsiaalteaduslikust kontekstist lähtuvalt vähemalt kaht loodusteadustega seotud elukutset koos neis vajalike teadmiste ja oskustega. Valmisolekut stsenaariume tunnis kasutada küsiti kümnelt loodusteaduste õpetajalt, kasutades Google Formsi keskkonnas kohandatud küsimustikku. Kvalitatiivse analüüsi tulemused näitasid, et õpetajate valmisolek stsenaariumide kasutamiseks on erinev ning isegi kogenud õpetaja vajab mitmekülgseid juhiseid karjääriteadlikkuse kui loodusteadusliku kirjaoskuse ühe tahu arendamiseks loodusteaduste tundides.
