The objectives were to explore: the content of representations on the use of video in educational setting among students attending School Psychology graduation, and the complexity of the argumentation presented by the subjects, according to Moscovici's theoretical framework. A questionnaire was filled by 29 subjects. The data were submitted to statistical and thematic content analysis. The main results revealed that the subjects conceptions were chiefly based on features related to the practical dimension ofthe usage ofvideo (teaching experience) rather than a result of a theoretical reflexion on the theme. The advantages of the audiovisuallanguage were related to an increase of motivation and improvement of the leaming atmosphere, and disadvantages due to teacher's lack of empowerment and video misusage. As theory suggests, one can conclude that the evolution ofrepresentations on a given social object takes place slowly. The employment ofthe concept of representation in exploring this subject matter also demonstrated to be pertinent.
