ZANELLA, Andréa Vieira; ROS, Sílvia Zanatta da; REIS, Alice Casanova dos  and  FRANCA, Kelly Bedin. Candy, pyramid or flower?: the process of production of meaning in a context of teaching and learning. Interações [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.17, pp.91-108. ISSN 1413-2907.

This text discusses the process of production of meaning through the product of an aesthetic activity in a formal situation of teaching and learning. This activity was proposed to academics enrolled in a certain discipline of the Psychology Course at Federal University of Santa Catarina. The procedures chosen for collection and analysis of data were the videografia and the microgenetic analysis. The attention was focused on the dialogue established between teachers and pupils throughout the activity and in the production of one of the participants, emphasizing the mediations produced and its results. The reflections were based on the contributions of Vigotski, specifically on the discussions on the process of production/appropriation of meaning and on the constitution of the subject. As a result, some elements of the mediations that have been aimed there, as well as elements of the process experienced by the protagonist of the situation, were identified. The protagonist recognized herself as capable to produce something creative that generates multiple meanings for the subjects involved.

Keywords : Creativity; Teaching and learning; Production of meanings; Subject constitution; Vigotski.
