• Abstract:

  The study presented was prepared and carried out during the year 2022-2023 based on the Scientific Initiation project, linked to the research project entitled “The Social and Cultural in Training and Educational Praxis: Implications of Historical-Cultural Theory and Pedagogy Historical-Critical in Teaching, Learning and Human Development in School Education”, linked to the Study Group and extension project named Theoretical-Methodological Foundations of Historical-Cultural Theory: Concepts for thinking about educational work with children. The problem that guided the study sought to answer the following question: How is it possible, through pedagogical intervention, to enable the appropriation of scientific content in a meaningful way for students? The general objective of this project was to understand how the teacher can qualitatively guide the learning of culture designed in a way that generates a link with the student's reality, enabling the creation of a deep relationship between the recipient and the socialized knowledge. The study's methodology was bibliographical research, based on the critical dialectical method and Cultural Historical Theory. Therefore, the contributions of Historical-Cultural Theory were presented together with Historical-Critical Pedagogy, and their immeasurable importance for human development, teaching and learning, as well as an analysis of the category of mediation as an essential element in the performance of teachers. as well as in the formation of human beings with the virtue of school education. Furthermore, the work presents the periodization of the child's psychic development enriched by the analysis of the Guide Activities, developed by Lev Semionovitch Vigotsky and the Pedagogical Practice developed by Dermeval Saviani. The teacher's mediation in children's learning and development in Elementary School is also explored as essential, since the chosen approach points out that human beings need mediation through social relationships, especially from more experienced human beings, in order to develop. It is intended to contribute to this study in order to rethink the teacher's work and development through the Study Activity.
