Résumé anglais The question of social representation is one of the most important for the didactics of geography. Social representations, which are both a product and a process, play an important role in teaching and learning ; but they are not easily understood. In the first instance they represent a concept which allows sense to be given to collected materials, particularly to students' statements. The analysis of the interviews of pupils at primary and lower secondary school level about towns enables representations to be reconstructed. We have tried to go beyond the simple description of the object to point out some learning issues dealing specifically with the construction of the geographical space concept.
