The following research reveals a study of social representations of university pedagogy students concerning Brazil. Considering the courses of Pedagogy should have a space so as to produce educational changes such as the ones defined by main educational theories, the study aimed at analyzing evidences of polemic representations that would allow identifying future educational institutions as a socially active group. This research is part of an extensive program of surveys on .Imaginary and Social Representations of Brazil. that is also part of an international project of .Latin-American Imaginaries. conducted by the European Laboratory of Social Psychology (LEPS) of Maison de Sciences de L.Homme of Paris (MSH), France. Two-hundred and sixty-seven university students studying in public and private universities from seven Brazilian states answered the survey. The questionnaire was prepared with drawings and written language so as to help respondents answer it. They were asked to draw Brazil on a piece of paper and write what there is in it. In addition, they had to justify what and why they had drawn represented Brazil to them, and how it differed from other countries. Initially, the ALCESTE software (Analyse Lexicale par Contexte d um Ensemble de Segments de Texte) was used to analyze the written answers. It identified the need to build a matrix to analyze their content that prioritizes a specific dimension: the social protagonism. This matrix also helped analyzing drawings. Results had evidenced two axles of representations: one is characterized by the force that exerts for maintaining the status quo; the other one stimulates the action of the people for a social change. This last axle of representations still had disclosed that the hope is motor of a protagonist performance, and predict an identity marked for the action of the educator and its social responsibility.
