| Sumario: | Among the higher mental functions studied by L. S. Vygotsky (LSV), the concept formation has been awakening the most vivid interest in psychology and education in Brazil since the 70’s. This theoretical article aims to present/systematize a didactic synthesis of the concept formation as it is presented in LSV ́s book "Thought and Language" (1934). This book reports collaborative research carried out by its author together with L. Sakharov and J. Shif. The present paper gives priority to the presentation and discussion of examples by Vygotsky, as well as elaborated by the authors of this work, when necessary to clarify LSV ́s ideas. We address the following issues set out in "Thought and Language": (1) research program developed; (2) the nature of the concept formation, and the generalization as a meeting point between thought and language; (3) the strenghts and weaknesses of Sakharov’s method in the study of "artificial concepts", in addition to its contributions to the definition of stages (sincrets [sinkretov] complexes [kompleksov] and concepts [poniatii]) and phases of concept formation; (4) the formation of everyday and scientific concepts as a single process, despite their similarities and differences. We briefly connect Sakharov ́s results with Shif’s research on "real concepts". |
