Henri Wallon, afeto e aprendizagem: um percurso teórico

Abstract

The theme of the thesis is the relation between learning and affection in education based on the thinking of the French Henri Paul Hyacinthe Wallon. The development of learning is influenced by various factors, such as the social environment (economic and cultural issues, for example), and, also, relations of affection. The goal of the research is to get to know how affectivity contributes to learning. Wallon articulates the emotional issues with the cognitive ones, defending that there is an indissoluble and reciprocal connection between the psychic development and the biological development of the individual, and, therefore, direct influences on the learning process. Through bibliographic research, one initially outlines the life and work of the author, since the trajectory of his personal life ends up reflecting on the construction of his thinking, since the areas of knowledge of his academic life, and later, his professional life, end up being fundamental in the elaboration of his ideas. It is about the ideas of Wallon about the school, about how people learn and about what happens between the learning people and the teaching people, to then deal with affectivity and its relation with learning.
