SARAVALI, Eliane Giachetto  e  SILVA, Camila Fernanda da. When students talk about learning problems: a psychogenetic studyCuando los estudiantes hablan de los problemas de aprendizaje: un estudio psicogenético. Psicol. teor. prat. [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.3, pp.184-196. ISSN 1516-3687.

Considering Piaget's theory and studies on the social construction of know­ledge, we investigated the ideas of students about learning and not learning. The study included 40 children between 6 and 16 years old with complaints of learning difficulties, enrolled in public schools in the state of São Paulo and subjected to two instruments: a drawing depicting a person who learns and does not learn another; a story involving a situation of not learning. The data indicate quite specific beliefs constructed by most participants, corresponding to the most basic level of understanding of social reality. His interpretations disregard more complex processes for the investigated phenomenon and focus on apparent issues. The results corroborate the evolutionary studies in the national context, pointing rudimentary ideas, even in older subjects. We suggest the need for studies to explain the causes of this delay between brazilian students.

Palavras-chave : social knowledge; Piaget's theory; evolutionary study; student's ideas; learning.
