ENNAFAA, Ridha. Analysis methods for the study of students' social representations: access to Higher Education in UFRN. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2014, vol.48, n.34, pp.11-38. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.5238/2015v48i340002.

The paper presents results of a research on the access to university and the students' trajectories. It particularly analyses the university (UFRN) Social Representation of the high school students. It tries to understand from these representations the vision of the candidates from public education about the university at the University entrance exam moment. The complementarity of the results with other quali-quantitative data underline the heuristic value of such approach combining the information to integrate them in longitudinal studies that take into account the trajectories and the perspectives of young people entering through university.

Keywords : Social Representations; Higher Education in Brazil; Research Methodology.
