Summary/Abstract: The article presents the basic assumptions of the social representations theory and analyses the ways of transformations of social representations in course of the process of learning to unlearn. In author’s own research the concept of three levels of ruptures with the previous believes, images and experiences was applied. Attention was paid to the fact that the qualitative change in the education of the future academic teachers depends on the engagement of academic teachers into the modification of social representations of the profession of the teacher in students. The change in social representations requires also the group cooperation during the joint research and activities. This creates a good basis for the future cooperation of teachers and shows how to use reflexivity in practice.
