O referencial te&#243;rico adotado &#233; o da representa&#231;&#227;o social, na sua vertente cognitivista. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram escolares compreendidos na faixa et&#225;ria de sete a quatorze anos, de duas escolas da rede estadual, portadores e n&#227;o portadores da esquistossomose. A coleta dos dados foi efetuada atrav&#233;s da realiza&#231;&#227;o das t&#233;cnicas de associa&#231;&#245;es livres, hierarquiza&#231;&#227;o de palavras, controle da centralidade e entrevista semi-diretiva. Participaram 128 escolares. Para a an&#225;lise dos dados utilizou-se o software Excel 2000 e an&#225;lise de conte&#250;do, segundo Bardin. Os resultados indicam que a representa&#231;&#227;o social do grupo estudado estrutura-se em torno de id&#233;ias ligadas &#224; transmiss&#227;o, sintomatologia e descri&#231;&#227;o da doen&#231;a. Observa-se que as representa&#231;&#245;es est&#227;o ancoradas no conhecimento passado por outras pessoas que conheceram a esquistossomose numa &#233;poca em que era ainda um problema muito mais grave.O perfil caracterizado traz implica&#231;&#245;es para as pr&#225;ticas pedag&#243;gicas e assim as a&#231;&#245;es educativas para a promo&#231;&#227;o da sa&#250;de, devem estar pautadas, ao mesmo tempo, na heterogeneidade e nas especificidades da representa&#231;&#227;o.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[The study investigates the social representations of schistosomiasis among school children living in an endemic area in the State of Minas Gerais, focusing on their attitudes and popular beliefs in relation to the disease. The intention of this research is to propose a basis for elaboration, production, adaptation and contextualization of the pedagogical approach and educative materials. The theoretical reference adopted is that of social representation, from a cognitive perspective. The study included 128 schoolchildren, between 7-14 years from two different public schools. They were positive and negative for schistosomiasis. For data collection, the techniques of free-association, word hierarchy, centralism control and semi-directive interviews were applied. The data analysis were conducted according Bardin's content analysis. The results show that social representation of schistosomiasis among the studied group is related to ideas about disease transmission, symptomatology and its description. It was observed that the representations are anchored on past knowledge of older people that knew schistosomiasis as a serious and more severe disease. The profile characterized here has implications for pedagogical practice and, thus, the educative actions for health promotion should be supported by both the heterogeneity and the specificities of representation observed.]]></p></abstract>
