RESUMO

This doctoral dissertation presents a qualitative investigation, the purpose of which is to analyze the process of teaching and learning mediated by learning objects (LOs). The dissertation proposes an LO built by the researcher and used in a classroom, at elementary level, with young adults (EJA), on the line Historical Social Theory, based on Vygotsky and other post-Vygotskian authors. The construction and use of this type of educational material are motivated by the possibilities that Information and Communication Technology offer to the educational process at school. These materials have been seen as instruments that facilitate and enhance human development in the context of the digital age. Data for the study were collected through unstructured observation, semistructured interviews with students and classroom teacher, film and document analysis, including questionnaires - one applied after the presentation of research to students and the other after completing the use of LO - and intellectual production developed by students with the use of the object. The analysis indicated that the pedagogical practice mediated by the LO was characterized by the following aspects: a) change in the students towards an active stance regarding their own study and change in the teacher towards a consultant role in the teaching and learning process, b) collaboration among students to the understanding of scientific concepts; c) contextualization of the content through examples related to the experiences of students, enhancing their motivation to study and understand the content, d) work towards the zone of proximal development of the students, highlighting help and feedback by means of the LO e) affective nature of motivation generated by the animations present in LO. The use of the LO as a mediator of the educational process was regarded by the students as interesting, funny and motivating, while the analysis of intellectual production shows significant progress in learning the concept of crase
