Resumo: Este trabalho, identificado com o paradigma do professor-pesquisador, buscou investigar as representações sociais de estudantes de um curso Técnico em Eletrônica integrado ao ensino médio sobre o tema “combustível”. Além disso, procurou identificar como essas informações podem qualificar o trabalho de professores-pesquisadores de Química e Ciências no contexto da sala de aula, especificamente pensando-se em uma abordagem CTS. As opções metodológicas envolveram a aplicação de um questionário contendo três questões interconectadas, que exploraram: respostas descritivas, associação livre de palavras e expressão através de desenho. A análise de conteúdo dos dados obtidos evidenciou que os alunos entendem os combustíveis como materiais relacionados à Química, sendo uma necessidade social para a produção de energia, em que pesem os problemas ambientais decorrentes de seu uso. Os extratos analíticos também revelaram que o estudo das representações sociais, no âmbito das pesquisas educacionais, viabiliza a explicitação das teorias de senso comum dos estudantes e colabora para o planejamento e a efetivação de uma abordagem pedagógica com viés crítico sobre a sociedade, a tecnologia e a ciência.

Moreover, sought to identify how this information may qualify the work of Chemical and Science teachers-researchers in the context of the classroom, specifically thinking into a STS approach. The methodological choices involved the application of a questionnaire containing three interconnected questions that explored: descriptive answers, free word association and expression through drawing. The content analysis of the data obtained showed that students understand the fuel as related to chemical materials, being a social need for energy production, in spite of the environmental problems arising from its use. Analytical extracts also revealed that the study of social representations in the context of educational research enables the explanation of common sense theories of students and collaborate to the planning and execution of an educational approach with critical bias on society, technology and science. Keywords: Social representation. Fuel. Chemistry teaching. STS.

The study is aimed at linking social representations of identity and feeling of belonging to territory of farmers, to their degree of involvement in collective action within localized agrifood systems (LAS). The study was conducted with producers’ families producing Serrano cheese, in the mountains of the Campos de Cima da Serra, in southern Brazil. Collective action for the valorization of the Serrano cheese relied on the producers’ associations, which are the only form of collective organization. Fifty-four families were selected according to their level of involvement in collective action. First, we used a quantitative approach called the free word association, analyzed by Factorial Correspondence Analysis. Second, we asked closed questions to the producers to assess their feeling of belonging. We showed that the content of the social representation reflected the participation of producers in collective action. Producers who put forward the typicality of the cheese, the territory and their identity, were the most engaged in the associations. On the other hand, producers not involved in associations put forward the difficulties of their activity. In this sense, it appears valuable to encourage discussion between the different producers according to their level of involvement to build common representations that favor collective action for the defense and valorization of the Serrano cheese. Nonetheless, most producers tended to show a high feeling of belonging which could form the basis for discussion. However, collective action in the LAS follows a top-down model led by extension services, in which the producers need to be integrated in a more participatory governance to lead more efficient projects.

Objective: To analyze the social representation of adolescents about gynecological consultation and the influence of those in searching for consultations. Method: Qualitative descriptive study based on the Social Representations Theory, conducted with 50 adolescents in their last year of middle school. The data was collected between April and May of 2010 by Evocations and a Focal Group. The software EVOC and contextual analysis were used in the data treatment. Results: The elements fear and constraint, constant in the central nucleus, can justify the low frequency of adolescents in consultations. The term embarrassment in the peripheral system reinforce current sociocultural norms, while prevention, associated with learning about sex and clarifying doubts, allows to envision an educative function. Obtained testimonies in the focal groups exemplify and reinforce those findings. Conclusion: For an effective health education, professionals, including nurses, need to clarify the youth individually and collectively about their rights to privacy, secrecy, in addition to focus the gynecological consultation as a promotion measure to sexual and reproductive health.

Abstract Background The symbolic universe of cancer is associated with death, but its treatment has undergone innumerable innovations, which may lead to a new meaning for social representations. The theory of social representations seeks the new, which changes in the knowledge of common sense (Guareschi & Jovchelovitch, 1994). Thus, the objective of this work is to identify the social representations of cancer and breast cancer, identifying their changes and their meanings based on the central nucleus and the peripheral system. Methods Qualitative and descriptive study, based on the structural approach of the theory of social representations. The sample was non-probabilistic and due to accessibility. The collection instrument was a Word Evocation Test with two inducing words, ‘cancer’ and ‘breast cancer’. The subjects were asked to mention three words that came to their mind immediately and spontaneously. The SPSS and IRAMUTEQ software were used. Results 753 subjects participated and 2316 words were evoked for each inducing word. In the central core of cancer the words pain, illness, death, suffering. Central core of breast cancer: treatment, pain, feeling, woman, strength. Conclusions The social representation of cancer is still strongly death, while in breast cancer it is the treatment. Suffering and pain are part of the central core of the two words and continue to characterize the disease, but in breast cancer the word strength appears. It is concluded that the social representation of breast cancer is being reframed.

O professor oriundo da licenciatura em Pedagogia, geralmente, possui dificuldades para ensinar Ciências, devido à formação deficiente e fragmentada, desta maneira, escolas e universidades são lugares capazes de compartilhar conhecimentos de senso comum e científicos atuando como geradoras de Representações Sociais. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo investigar as Representações Sociais sobre o ser professor de Ciências para os anos iniciais que os licenciandos em Pedagogia de uma Universidade pública do Paraná possuem. Foram utilizadas as técnicas de evocação livre de palavras e questionário como instrumentos de coleta de dados. Utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo e a categorização em elementos centrais e periféricos das Representações Sociais. Identificou-se que a representação social do ser professor envolve, principalmente, o ensinar e o aprender, em um contexto tradicional, de modo que seu o núcleo faz referência à palavra conhecimento e aos elementos periféricos aos conteúdos curriculares na área das Ciências Naturais. Reconheceu-se também que ao comparar as Representações Sociais dos graduandos das séries iniciais e finais do curso de Pedagogia as mesmas se mantiveram.Palavras-chave: Ensino.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the social representations of the Nursing Technicians and Community Health Agents about domestic violence against women. METHOD A qualitative study carried out in the city of Rio Grande, RS, in which evocations and interviews were collected between July and November 2013. For the treatment of data were used the EVOC 2005 software and the context analysis. RESULT It is a structured representation, in which the central nucleus contains conceptual, imaging and attitudinal elements, namely: abuse, aggression, physical aggression, cowardice and lack of respect. Such terms were present in the context of the interviews. The professionals acknowledged that violence is not limited to physical aspects and were judgemental about the acts of the aggressor. CONCLUSION This knowledge may enable the problematization of the studied phenomenon with the team, and facilitate the search for prevention and intervention strategies for victims, offenders and managers of health services.

Abstract This study sought to identify the structure of legal professionals’ representations of child and adolescent sexual abuse anchored by the central core theory of social representations. The sample included 31 professionals responsible for implementing public policies in relation to victims, their family members, and aggressors. A sociodemographic questionnaire was employed with a free word association task. The resulting data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 21.0 and the R Interface for Multidimensional Analyses of Texts and Questionnaires, respectively. The central core of the professionals’ representations included the terms “violence”, “trauma”, and “grief”; furthermore, they pathologized the abuser, and their representations were anchored by criminological and psychological explanations of sexual abuse. This fragmented view of sexual abuse lacks macroexplanations that address cultural and social factors as well as proposals that involve society as a whole.

Abstract Objective: characterize and analyze social representations of middle-aged adults over their old age. Method: Qualitative research supported by the Theory of Social Representation. The field of study was the marginal urban jurisdiction of the Toribia Castro and San Martin Health Centers, in the Lambayeque district, in Peru. Two hundred people between 40 and 59 years old were participants in the study, 50% males and 50% females. Data was collected using the Free Word Association Technique, with the inductor term “my old age”. The data was analyzed with the EVOC 2003 software. Results: middle-aged adults generated a similar representation of their old age with the use of the following elements: disease, family, uselessness, loneliness. The concepts of protection and fear only appeared in the probable central nucleus of the representation of men, while in that of women, sadness was the one that appeared the most. Conclusion: The probable central nucleus of old age shows negative representation overall and, depending on how the person copes with it in the course of their life, the meanings assigned to it will vary. Health promotion policies that highlight self-care and communicate a positive and autonomous image of old age can contribute to reconfigure such representations.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to learn and analyze the structure of nurses’ social representations about transvestite people. Methods: a qualitative research based on the Theory of Social Representations, with 110 nurses enrolled in Graduate Nursing courses, who answered the Free-Association Test, with the stimulus ‘transvestite’. Data were processed by the software Ensemble de Programmes Permettant I’ Analysedes Évocations. Results: in the central nucleus, the term “prejudice” was the most evoked, followed by “homosexual”, “identity” and “female-make-up”. Social representation is anchored in the social organization in which transvestite people are still seen and/or associated with homosexuals who make up and assume an identity, without being seen and/or understood as they really are. Final Considerations: although prejudice is noteworthy as a central element, terms present in the peripheral system reveal that the group recognizes transvestites as a person with rights, which can translate into health care practices.

Objective. To analyze the concepts of patient safety from the perspective of the social representations of intensive care nurses. Methods. An exploratory, qualitative and quantitative study, based on the Theory of Social Representations, was conducted in a large hospital in northeastern Brazil, with 20 intensive care nurses. Data collection took place in 2019, using the techniques of free word association test and semi-structured interview. The lexicons apprehended in the test were processed by the OpenEvoc software, by prototypical analysis of the evocations, and for the interview data, thematic content analysis was used. Results. In the composition of the central nucleus, the elements of surveillance, knowledge, identification, communication, and quality stood out, and in the constitution of the peripheral system of the social representations of intensive care nurses permeate care, attention, attitudes, and normative aspects. The triangulation of the findings outlined three thematic categories: Central dimensions of critical patient safety; Attitudinal dimensions for patient safety in intensive care; Normative dimensions linked to the safe handling of the patient in the ICU. Conclusion. The social representations of intensive care nurses reveal that the critical patient's conceptions of security involve effective surveillance and communication, promotion of a safe environment based on risk prevention, use of guides and protocols, teamwork, and the sense of responsibility and commitment to individuality of being cared for, elements that for this social group, are the differential for assertive and safe care.
