Abstract

This paper presents a bibliographic review to discuss the elements of the Theory of Social Representations, focusing on the epistemological dispersion historically linked to Psychology and Education Sciences. It also brings forth the researches about the application of that theory in the field of education. The study was conducted by reviewing the classical frame of reference, in dialogue with researches of social sciences, to answer the question: What aspects of this theoretical set can be used in educational researches? The results indicate that the social representations are versatile to manage and offer reliable interpretations. However, it is important to highlight some risks that must be managed by the researcher in the field.
