Concepções de desenvolvimento e aprendizagem em crianças com microcefalia: representações de estudantes universitários

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.
