This study aimed at determining the level of cognitive representation of information among the third secondary school pupils, and the extent of the differences in cognitive representation according to the learner's gender and field. 53 pupils participated in the study (25males: 10 experimental sciences, 15 arts and philosophy; and 28 females: 11 experimental sciences, 17 arts and philosophy) of the third secondary level in Hassi Khalifa, El Oued province, we chose them using the simple random method. For data collection, we adopted the three-model scale of cognitive representation of information Rajab (2007). After analyzing the data using SPSS 22.0, the results showed the following:

- The level of cognitive representation of information among the sample was high (beyond the hypothetical average).

- There were no statistically significant differences in cognitive representation due to gender (males/females).

- There were statistically significant differences at (0.01)level in the cognitive representation due to the field (experimental sciences / literature and philosophy).
