O PROFESSOR E AS DIFICULDADES DE APRENDIZAGEM: concepções e práticas

Abstract

This dissertation argues the participation of the professor in the relation that the student diagnosised with learning difficulties establishes with the knowledge. It presents the historical about the difficulty of learning in the Brazilian pedagogical speech from the research of Tiballi (1998), Patto (1999), and Angellucci et alli (2004), and presents the concepts of learning and difficulty in learning according to geneticcognitive that Piaget has as his main exponent; social-cognitive, with Vygotsky as his main theorical and the cultural conception, that has Bernard Charlot as one of the scholars that, in the present time, makes an analysis on knowledge, the learning and the relation that the subject establishes with knowledge, adding some important elements for the understanding of the learning process. By empirical research done in the system of municipal public education in São Luís de Montes Belos, this dissertation identifies the conceptions of learning difficulty that mark out with buoys the pedagogical work of the professor in basic education, reflecting about what the professors think about learning difficulty and which elements constitute this conception, and, still what the professors and/or the school make to revert the situations of failure at school, beyond the criteria that the professors consider to identify the children who have learning difficulty. This reflection is based on the reformularizations of Charlot (2000, 2001, 2005, 2006) about learning, that considers the relation with knowledge, with learning, how the relation that the subject establishes with the world, with the other and with himself even when he is collated by the necessity in learning.
