Abstract

TACCA, Maria Carmen Villela Rosa  and  GONZALEZ REY, Fernando Luis. Subjective sense production: the singularities of students in the learning process. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2008, vol.28, n.1, pp. 138-161. ISSN 1414-9893.

In this article we seek to identify how the subjective sense manifests itself and constitutes a starting point for each student learning process, reveling his/her singularity as a person. To better understand this idea, the research was carried out based on Gonzalez Rey’s categories of subjectivity and subjective sense. In this research, an elementary school group of 4th graders and their teacher were involved. Data revealed how students used the information included in the activities together with personal resources, creating subjective sense in order to build paths to learning. In conclusion, we found that the learning process is related to the creation of subjective senses that arise from several spaces and situations in a student’s life. Therefore, consider this dimension would allow targeted actions towards supporting the continued classroom progress of the student.
