Sumario:Few investigations have taken into account the social representations that prospective teachers have about certain basic concepts in the teaching of natural sciences. Our work, developed with prospective Physics and Chemistry teachers, has allowed us to find the structure of their social representations about nuclear and chemical reactions, using a technique of evocation and hierarchical organization. In this presentation, we analyze and compare these representations, which allow us to find traits of socially shared knowledge about these concepts and to identify some points of conflict that could impact the future practices of the students of the sample, relating them to learning problems identified in this area.
