The research aimed to identify social representations of digital information and communication technologies shared by undergraduate students in pedagogy, permeated by the context of the pandemic in their initial formation. Due to its cognitive and subjective character, the theoretical field that supports the study is the Theory of Social Representations. The qualitative research methodology used the Technique of Free Association of Hierarchical Words (ABRIC, 2005), a collection strategy that conditions the respondents to a hierarchy of terms based on their importance in the representation of this group. The results presented the internet, the computer, the cell phone and innovation as possible components of the central core of the social representation shared by the group of students, while the difficulty, learning, distance learning, adaptation, education, resource, access, connection, tools, Google Meet, Google Classroom, challenge and inequality figure in the field of the periphery of this representation. In addition, the production and reproduction of these social representations would be linked to moments of tension, little connection with technologies, distance and social inequality.
