The dialectic of teaching and learning in historical-critical educational activity

Abstract

Through the intermediation between the historical-critical pedagogy and historical-cultural psychology based on the fundamentals of historical and dialectical materialism, the paper aims to discuss the dialectic of teaching and learning in the educational activity. It aims to contribute to overcome the split between ontology and epistemology, by pointing out the need for a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the ascension from the abstract to the concrete method while proposing the activity theory as an indispensable theoretical stuff to think about the organization of educational activity of teaching and learning in the field of education. In this way it puts in motion the teaching method needed for the apprehension of phenomena as synthesis of multiple determinations and relations.
