Abstract
The article aims to present the relationship between development and learning in the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky. Piaget emphasizes the concepts of action and coordination of actions. In Vygotsky, the emphasis is placed on the concept of Zone of Proximal Development. In addition, it aims to problematize the place of an unusual psychoanalytic perspective of Freud in this conceptual context of the relation between development and learning in order to highlight the possibility of such a psychoanalytic discussion in this scope. It presents some possible contributions of the psychoanalytic reading within the theme worked on the consequences of child sexuality for the access to the act of learning. From the work with concepts developed in a certain theoretical moment of the author, using published literature on the subject, concludes that, although they carry significant differences, the three perspectives explain the importance of development in relation to learning.
