Abstract

This study addresses, from an exploratory perspective and taking a socio-educational approach, the current energy crisis and its related conceptions transmitted through social networks and the digital press.
This study constitutes the initial phase of a developing study that aims to design tertiary curriculum to be incorporated into studies for the Bachelor of Education that will foster proactive attitudes to this crisis in future teachers. It addresses the lexicometric analysis and content of 2001 tweets and 84 articles. Six categories have been identified that integrate concepts that could account for the Social Representations (SR) that Spanish university students who are undertaking a Bachelor of Education have on the issue of the future of energy.
