Description
Summary:This study aimed at investigating the social representations about changes in Education constructed by the academics of the Pedagogy course at the Federal University of Mato Grosso. The research was based on the Theory of Social Representations (MOSCOVICI, 1978, JODELET, 2005), as well as studies on changes in the educational context. A number of forty semi structuralized interviews were applied to the students of the four series of the course. The verbal material obtained from the interviews was processed by the software Alceste. The standard analyses of the software added to the tri-croisé analyses of the variable year were done. It was observed that the social representations about changes in the Education constructed by the Pedagogy students from the UFMT make a movement between their individual enrollment concerning qualification and their necessities of changes in Education. The students' social representations have been changing throughout the Pedagogy course into an immobilizing complaint that seems to replace their concerned attitudes facing the educational changes.
