Identities (individual and collective) are very complex to define. On the one hand, they represent "a set of traits of an individual or a group that characterises them in relation to others", but also "a person's awareness of being him/herself and different from others". In this sense, this line of research insists on school learning as a framework that shapes identities and social representations, beyond the common sense socially reproduced and expressed in the media. To this end, it takes into account the historical-cultural dimension of school disciplines and the tendency to naturalise certain contents, practices and uses that hinder innovation.
