Summary
As representações sociais são elementos simbólicos que os homens expressam mediante o uso de palavras e de gestos para explicitar o que pensam, demonstrar os seus sentimentos sobre uma determinada situação e formular opiniões acerca de determinado fato ou objeto. (PINHEIRO, 2008). As representações sociais são elementos simbólicos que os homens expressam mediante o uso de palavras e de gestos para explicitar o que pensam, demonstrar os seus sentimentos sobre uma determinada situação e formular opiniões acerca de determinado fato ou objeto. As representações sociais investigam ―como se formam e como funcionam os sistemas de referência que utilizamos para classificar pessoas e grupos e para interpretar os acontecimentos da realidade cotidiana.‖ As representações sobre informação e conhecimento expressam as opiniões, os valores, as crenças que as pessoas adotam na composição desses conceitos. Essas representações são construídas a partir dos elementos culturais, sociais e históricos que permeiam o espaço social desses sujeitos
