MAGALHAES, Fernanda Cândido. Social representations of the future educators concerning the Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. R. Educ. Públ. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.66, pp.839-857. Epub 07-Mayo-2019. ISSN 2238-2097. https://doi.org/10.29286/rep.v27i66.4286.
Darwin’s theory of evolution, which has wide repercussions in common sense, is the object of this study of the representational field. The study counted on the Theory of Social Representations to interpret the data. The method of data gathering consisted of the investigation on the structure of the representations about the Theory of Evolution among 179 students enrolled in the courses of Pedagogy and Biology. The study indicated a strong connection between the Theory of Evolution and the image of Darwin. Even over a long period of 150 years, the theory and author are present in the popular knowledge, breaking the barriers of the scientific universe to circulate widely throughout the representations of these future teachers.
