A prática pedagógica como processo de comunicação - a relação professor-aluno como eixo: o ponto de vista psicológico

Abstract

Considering the teaching-learning-development unit in the light of the historical-cultural approach, this work aimed to investigate how the teacher's understanding of the psychological characteristics of adolescent students influences their pedagogical practice. The methodological procedures used were a questionnaire with general data about the teachers, followed by semi-structured interviews with teachers from a public school in Minas Gerais. The teachers' understandings on the psychological characteristics of adolescent students and their influence on pedagogical practice were grouped into three dimensions: Communication systems, Study activity and Personal identity. The study points out that the main demands of adolescent students can be observed and taken as an important part of teaching planning, development and evaluation of pedagogical practices, so that teaching effectively promotes human development. In this sense, the organization of the classroom collective is considered major role, taking into account the impacts of this in the formation of the student's personality, whose intensive process of formation of personal identity makes him/her extremely sensitive to social opinions. We hope that the systematizations carried out in the present study contribute to the production of theoretical subsidies on the relationship between teaching and the development of adolescents, in the Historical-Cultural approach.
