Abstract

We present an exploratory study conducted with 160 engineering students in order to characterize and
describe the representations that share about Physics. We used a qualitative and quantitative methodology
with an interpretative approach. We applied a hierarchical evocation test and analyzed the content and
structure of the representation. The results suggest a representative process in progress, characterized by
central elements of the domain of mechanics and concepts relating to the vision of science that began to
be introduced in the representational fi eld. The results are discussed in the light of those obtained in other
studies and the research theoretical and methodological decisions.
