Abstract:
The present work aimed to discuss the social representations of university students about microcephaly, development, and learning. The work was carried out with 100 students. We used a semi-structured interview analyzed by IRAMUTEQ software. Representations permeate the understanding of microcephaly as a disease that limits development and learning. It is noticed the need for new studies that contribute to the most critical discussion regarding this problem.
