ABSTRACT:
This text is an effort of theorization, resulting from a research about the designated active teaching-learning methodologies in higher education, more particularly in the context of health education, developing an analysis based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of the historical-cultural conception of human development. The theoretical option is based on Vigotski School theoretical background, with the contributions of Lev S. Vygotsky and Alexei Leontiev, based on their Theory of Activity. Objectively, we intend to develop a theoretical and conceptual framework able to mediate other readings about what can be called active in active methodologies, from the historical-cultural perspective. The scope of this objective is guided by the assumptions of historical-dialectical materialism, the reference matrix of historical-cultural theory, which demands the observance of a moving and multidetermined object. Possible results of this project indicate affirmatively to the possibility of thinking about the designated active methodologies in the scope of the historical-cultural theory of human psychic development. Our initial conclusions indicate possibilities of to think, organize and propose teaching and learning activities in higher education, understanding the active as a movement of cognition that is effective in the apprehension of human objectivations and the constitution of subjectivation processes through human typically activity.
