ABSTRACT

This article proposes an analysis of some contributions of historical-cultural psychology in the

field of child development studies, specifically the questions of the zone of proximal development and
the periodization of the development of the human psyche, pointing out implications of this
perspective for the pedagogical field. The historical-cultural approach was discussed in the
understanding of the process of development of the psyche, according to which all specifically human
formation processes are determined by concrete historical and social conditions, as opposed to the
naturalizing visions of the development process. Next, we present the fundamentals of the relationship
between school education and its consequences for development, leading us to the concept of
vigotskian zone of proximal development, soon after to the periodization of the ages. Finally, we
analyze the implications of such contributions to the pedagogical field, defending the appropriation of
such knowledge by the teacher for the transmission of systematized contents in an intentional way,
with clarity of the forces that motivate the process of child development.

KEYWORDS: Historical-cultural psychology. Periodization. Zone of proximal development.
