The research involved two phases. In phase 1 of the research, 34 teachers, in a total of 37, answered a self-applied questionnaire. Data collection in order to identify social representations was carried out through free evocation technique, using “internet” and “internet at school” as inductors terms. The data collected in the questionnaire were analyzed with a statistical package and the evocations identified with the software Evoc 2000. For a deepen analysis of the identified social representations, interviews were conducted with 12 teachers who agreed to participate in Phase 2 of the research. The research allowed understanding practices from the construction process of the representations in daily life and in the relations between subjects. The identified social representations collaborated to guide the process of teacher education at UCA Project.
