Analysis of the Impacts of the Subject “Ed 707 - Development and Learning” on Students

Abstract

The affective dimension in pedagogical mediation has been the object of study in the educational area since the end of the 90s of the last century, so that scientific productions in the area have sought to understand how affectivity relates to the teaching-learning processes. Based on Vygotsky and Wallon's theories about learning and affectivity, this article aims to investigate the impacts of the subject ED707 "Development and Learning", offered in the Postgraduate Program of School of Education of Unicamp, since 1988, on students who took de course. The method involved document analysis of available archives, use of questionnaire and interviews with some students who attended the subject between the years 2009 to 2019. The data suggests that the experiences lived in the classroom produced notable effects in the life history of the students, both academically and professionally, which may explain the continuous offer of the subject.
