Abstract

Evaluation of results from official exams revealed that Brazilian primary and secondary school children have not attained the required performance expected at this teaching level during the last years. Current research, based on the historical and cultural theory, discusses the impact of pupils’ low school performance in their formation and human development. It also presupposes that the appropriation of symbolical instruments is the process through which each subject produces the development attained by human beings.
