Cultural Psychology in Schools

This book, written in Portuguese, explores the relationship between psychology and education through cultural dialogical psychology. Scientists from various countries contribute theoretical-empirical chapters on dialogical practices, democratic values, and human development, enriching the field of developmental psychology and education. This book came out as part of the efforts of cultural dialogical psychologists guided to the knowledge construction about the relations between psychology and education. After years of working together, scientists from Brazil, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, among other countries, collaborate to present this book written in Portuguese, due to the relevant contribution of cultural dialogical psychology to the field of education within school contexts. The authors produced theoretical-empirical chapters using a didactical and dialogical language to discuss their ideas and experiences, which compose the field known as the “Cultural Psychology of Education”. Topics such as dialogical practices, democratic values and beliefs and topics concerning education and human development, among others, are therefore analyzed and discussed in order to contribute to the vast field encompassing both developmental psychology and education.
