Abstract

 

Abstract: The Theory of Social Representations (TRS) is valuable in research as it reveals how groups interpret and assign meanings to reality. Objective: To analyze how social representations regarding the knowledge and teaching practices of nursing educators from two private institutions are structured. Method: A qualitative study guided by TRS. A probing protocol on learning strategies by Boruchovitch (2009) was used. Data were analyzed using the IRaMuTeQ 0.7 alpha 2 software. Results: The Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD) method was applied, revealing four classes. Class 1 had the highest social representation with 32.6% of the corpus, Class 4 obtained 25.6%, and Classes 2 and 3 accounted for 20.9% each of the total corpus. The similarity analysis highlighted two central axes: "learning," focused on the thought processes and actions of the teacher as a learner, and "teaching," focused on the knowledge and practices of nursing educators. Peripheral terms related to learning methods used by teachers and teaching possibilities were identified. Conclusion: The social representations suggest that practices utilized by teachers as learners directly influence their choice of teaching methods and approaches in the classroom. Reflecting on how one learns was understood as an exercise in self-analysis and reflection that enhances teaching practice.      

Keywords: nursing education; learning process, learning strategies, self-analysis of learning.
