DIALOGICAL PROCESSES IN ADULT EDUCATION: THE PERSPECTIVE OF CULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY

ABSTRACT What interactions arise when adopting a dialogical stance in educational practices with young people and adults? This is a question that we try to discuss in this article, which brings Cultural Psychology as a framework capable of offering resources for reflection about the meanings inherent in human activities of knowledge construction. The analysis highlighted here reports the experience developed through the University Extension Project of the Psychology Department of the University of Brasília entitled “Livros Abertos - Aqui Todos Contam” during the realization of two Dialogic Reading meetings in a public school for the education of young people and adults in Brasília. Experience shows us how the possibility of considering and interpreting the values and beliefs of the people involved in a certain activity can be part of the dialogic teaching and learning processes of all those involved.
