Abstract

The teaching of mathematics is undoubtedly a challenge at different educational levels, a phenomenon studied by different researchers and with different approaches. Social representations is a form of knowledge called common sense, with characteristics of being socially elaborated and shared; it has a practical purpose of organizing the world (material, social, ideal); it tends to guide behavior and communication; participates in the establishment of a vision of reality common to a determined social or cultural group (Jodelet, 1991). In the opinion of Moscovici (1985), collective representations are explanatory mechanisms that refer to a general class of ideas and beliefs, while social representations are phenomena that need to be described and explained. The purpose of this research was to determine which are the social representations that UX students develop in their teaching-learning process, through the use of technology. The results obtained will serve as a frame of reference for the proposal of teaching and intervention strategies for this matter.
