Abstract: 

In this work teachers' responses to a survey about combinatorics and its teaching are analyzed. Participants were 22 in service teachers and 14 trainee teachers who respond to questions concerning actual teaching methodology, suggestions for change, and students' difficulties and interest in combinatorics. We present information about the following aspects: content being taught, time spend for it and its planning, types of problems proposed to students and their relative difficulty in opinion of those teachers and suggested changes for teaching of the subject.
