Theoretical review on developmental teaching with youth and adults / <i>Revisión teórica sobre la enseñanza desarrollante con jóvenes y adultos</i>

Developmental teaching is a conception of teaching developed in cultural-historical psychology and pedagogy. The main objective of this research is to identify theses and dissertations that address in their studies developmental teaching and concepts of cultural-historical psychology for working with students and adults. The Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of Brazil is used in the study. This research has a quali-quantitative approach of descriptive and bibliographic character. The data analysis followed the interpretative research technique. We were able to identify 59 research papers on developmental teaching (with only the keyword ‘developmental teaching’). Of this total, only two (one thesis and one dissertation) address developmental teaching. These two research studies discuss, respectively, professional education and preparation of specialists in the concepts of cultural-historical psychology and education. It is important to understand the bibliographic production about developmental teaching in the scientific literature, so that it is possible to understand how this teaching can contribute to the psychological development of students, both young and adult.
