ABSTRACT:
Adolescence, based on Historical-Cultural Theory, is a period of human development linked not only to biological but also social changes. It is a period of overcoming the structures of consciousness developed since childhood and incorporating adult life elements, especially concerning concepts or theoretical thinking development. In this theoretical article, we present the following problem: what would be a pedagogical activity that considers the concrete adolescent and allows his psychic development? For this, we bring data from the studies of Vygotsky (1996), Leontiev (1978, 2004) and Elkonin (1961) about adolescence and, from them, we have published indicatives for a pedagogical activity aimed at this audience. We argue that Historical-Critical Pedagogy is a possible path for pedagogical activity with adolescents. Its proper use provides access to the appropriation of knowledge historically produced by humanity, without disregarding that the student is a concrete being.
