For this, we aimed to investigate the social representations of ninth grade students about the teaching and learning of reading and writing. Thirty-seven (37) students from two state public schools, located in a municipality in the northern region of the state of Paraná, participated inthe research, being 23 (twenty-three) students from Central School 1 (EC1) and 14 (fourteen) from Peripheral School 1 (EP1). The respondents answered a questionnaire with 18 (eighteen) questions, 9 (nine) referring to reading and 9 (nine) about writing. For the presentation of the collected SR, we elaborated two charts in which we synthesized the research statistical data; the first presents the aspects related to the students reading practices, the second, in turn, shows the reading practices. Moreover, according to the Moscovici assumptions we qualitatively discuss the SR obtained by the research. Overall, the SR of the respondent’s report that most read and write poorly, which confirms the results of external evaluations, as well as complaints from teachers, parents, and other school professionals about poor brazilian students achievement.
A Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS) foi idealizada por Serge Moscovici no início da década de 1960 e tem sido utilizada em diferentes áreas do conhecimento para investigar como são produzidos, organizam-se e são veiculados os saberes sociais, utilizados para interpretar a realidade concreta na inter-relação dos grupos sociais. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o uso da TRS como referencial teórico-metodológico para o ensino da Geografia na educação básica. Para a realização deste trabalho, selecionamos pesquisas stricto sensu cadastradas no banco de teses e dissertações na Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal e Nível Superior (CAPES), no período de 2012 a 2016. Analisamos quatro teses e 25 dissertações, para isso organizamos dois quadros e um gráfico nos quais distribuímos informações relevantes do material analisado. Além disso, organizamos semanticamente, as 29 pesquisas em cinco categorias de análise. Os resultados apontam que a TRS tem sido um importante referencial teórico-metodológico para compreender fenômenos da Geografia e das diversas implicações que envolvem essa disciplina escolar.
