Resumen
The research integrates the Field of Research of Special Education of the
Program of Post Graduation in Education of UFSM. The issues which initiated the
research are derived from the work developed with two boys (univiteline twins) that
present learning disabilities. The main objective of the research was to understand
how the mediating processes influence the formation of everyday concepts, more
specifically mathematical everyday concepts, and how the latter interfere in the
formation of scientific concepts and in school learning, wich can trigger learning
disabilities. Thus, looking for methodological support in the principles of Qualitative
Epistemology of González Rey and in the Vygotskian premises which point to the
inseparability between theory and method, a work was developed along with the two
boys with pedagogical assistance and following up in class during a semester. The
actions in the field were being defined according to the advance of the interpretations
in the light of empirical observations and with the progress of the theoretical studies.
The indicators that had been appearing along the investigation headed to three
nucleus or areas of meaning which gave intelligibility to the case, that is, it allows to
perceive/interpret/comprehend the case. The first nucleus of meaning centers in the
relation between everyday concepts and scientific concepts and ratifies the
interrelation Vygotsky proposed that existed between both. Proceeding, in the
second area of meaning it was perceived the issue of mediation as central in the
process of formation of concepts, attesting that the shortage of experiences of
mediated learning brought on the incipient development of everyday concepts in both
children as basis for the nucleus we have also looked for references in the work of
Reuven Feuerstein. The third area of meaning invokes again the referential of
González Rey and indicates the importance of the study of subjectivity, since
learning involves more than cognition, it involves aspects related to emotions,
expectations, and to the motivation of learning such aspects are in the constitution
of learning disabilities in the subjects of research. We believe that the contributions
of research for the area (field) of Education and Special Education come in the
amplification of interpretation regarding the formation of concepts in Vygotsky. In the
investigated case, it was verified that the absence of mediated learning experiences
and also that subjective meanings allied to the low expectation of school success are
factors that influence the formation of everyday concepts and consequently interfere
in the formation of scientific concepts and in school learning, setting off learning
disabilities.
