CONTRERAS, Yair Alexander Porras. Social representations of the environmental crisis, in preservice chemistry teachers. Ciência educ. [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.2, pp.431-449. ISSN 1980-850X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1516-731320160020010.

The environmental crisis as a crisis of civilization emerges from the ineffective interactions between biophysical, social and cultural subsystems, becoming a global risk that transcends the material domain, to be positioned in a category that involves meaning and sense of reality. Ideas, beliefs and concepts that are developed by preservice teachers on the environmental crisis, become paths on which their pedagogical knowledge and educational practice in relation to the built environment develops. The purpose of this article is to recognize the social representations of the environmental crisis, circulating in a group of preservice chemistry teachers at the National Pedagogical University of Colombia, taking as reference the structural approach of social representation.
