Abstract

The article presents results of the study referred to social representations and practices of social intervention of students of Social Work at the University of Cartagena (Colombia), which were identified through discourse analysis, expressed in semistructured interviews aimed at these. The main findings realize an uncritical reproduction of the discourses that handle teachers about these topics in the classroom or in extracurricular activities, such as seed training and research projects, evidencing social representations and practices of such decontextualized local issues.
