Study activities for learning and development of neoformations in science classes: an epistemological reflection based on historical-cultural theory

In this article we present the analysis of a study activity developed by a group of students and a professor of Natural Sciences, from a public municipal school in Blumenau/Santa Catarina. The description, analysis and interpretation of this activities and its effects for the learning and the development of neoformations by the students have been the object of this investigation. Based on that, we propose an epistemological reflection, with assumptions of the Historical-Cultural Theory, taking into account works by Belarusian Vygotsky and Davydov, to understand a study activity as a unit of analysis of human development and, thus, a contribution to the development of innovative experiences for science teaching, anchored in the understanding of learning processes.
