The Theory of Social Representations as a theoretical-methodological reference in research in Geography: analysis of theses and dissertations present in the Capes from 2012 to 2016. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2019, vol.24, n.50, pp.239-261.  Epub 07-Maio-2019. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v24i50.1197.

The Social Representation Theory (SRT) was conceived by Serge Moscovici in the early 1960s and has been used in different areas of knowledge to investigate how social knowledge is produced, organized and used to interpret reality in the interrelation of social groups. The present research aims to analyze the use of SRT as a theoretical-methodological reference for the teaching of Geography in basic education. To carry out this work, we selected stricto sensu researches registered in the theses and dissertations database in the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal e Nível Superior (CAPES), from 2012 to 2016. We analyzed four theses and 25 dissertations, for this we organized two tables and one graph in which we distribute relevant information of the analyzed material. In addition, we organized semantically the 29 surveys into five categories of analysis. The results indicate that the SRT has been an important theoretical-methodological reference to understand phenomena of Geography and the diverse implications that involve this school subject.
