agree Muriel Vasconcellos : You beat me to it! But it's 2 separate words in the dictionary: 'world view'. According to Merriam-Webster's International, which is the "bible" for most organizations.

conception of the world

There are plenty of examples with "conception of the world", including the title of a book.

Even though, these two terms are nearly synonymous, there's an English equivalent for each:

visão de mundo: worldview; view of the world
concepção de mundo: conception of the world

Example Sentences

A milestone of child psychology, "The Child's Conception of the World" explores the ways in which the reasoning powers of young children differ from those of adults. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/books/1124139415;jsessionid...

A more radical idealist conception of the world can be found in Berkeley's subjective idealism, which holds that the world as a whole, including all everyday objects like tables, cats, trees and ourselves, "consists of nothing but minds and ideas".

PS: If for some reason I don't respond to comments and/or disagrees, it's either because I'm too busy or simply chose not to address any negative/disagreeing comments that I've been getting for no apparent reason. My refusal to engage with whoever thumbs me down doesn't mean that I agree with them. Asker, please feel free to contact me (via inbox) if you need any clarification about my answer. Thank you.

Etymology
The term worldview is a calque of the German word Weltanschauung [ˈvɛltʔanˌʃaʊ.ʊŋ] (About this soundlisten), composed of Welt ('world') and Anschauung ('perception' or 'view').[6] The German word is also used in English. It is a concept fundamental to German philosophy, especially epistemology and refers to a wide world perception. Additionally, it refers to the framework of ideas and beliefs forming a global description through which an individual, group or culture watches and interprets the world and interacts with it.
