Central Center of Social Representations and the Educational Field

Abstract

The way of apprehending the content of social representations is rescued on two orientations that are not exclusive. The content is treated as a structured field or as a structuring core. The subject who expresses a representation and constructs the real object is imagined and symbolized by its representation(s), in a continuum of (re)modeling. Here the structuring core of the social representations of the field of educational research is revealed, which highlights: Subject-Representations-Object. From the great theory elaborated by Moscovici (2015) emerge complementary theoretical currents. The main theories are those led by Denise Jodelet, Willem Doise and Jean-Claude Abric (focus of this essay). The objectives of this theoretical essay were: i) to present in a synthetic way the basic propositions of the Central Core Theory and ii) to present an experience report using TNC in the educational field.
