This article presents a diachronic study in which the conceptions of university students on the specific areas of Social Education through the elaboration of collaborative multimedia concept maps are analyzed. The sample consists of 321 students belonging to the Social Education and Dual Degree Social Education and Social Work Degree courses of the Universidad Pablo de Olavide, during the academic years 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17. Through a qualitative methodology, through virtual ethnography and quantitative techniques with the use of questionnaires, we analyzed the intervention areas in Social Education and the most significant results were the following: drug addiction (16%), people with disabilities and mental health problems (13%), elderly (13%), and childhood (9%). Other areas that students have identified as being specific to Social Education are: immigration and adults (7%), adolescence (6%), gender violence (5%), socio-community care (4%), sociocultural animation and labor integration 3%), as well as judicial measures, social integration and exclusion (2%), homelessness, child violence, family mediation, education, street education, interculturality, or child violence (1%). In order to point out these concepts, multimedia conceptual maps have been elaborated which show fundamentaly through a vertical hierarchical arrangement.
