Abstract: This article is the result of a master's thesis and deals with the mediation process in the construction of school knowledge based on historical-cultural psychology. The objective is to understand the conception of the teacher in the early years about the mediation process in municipal schools in João Pessoa-PB. At first, we present Vygotskian thinking about the construction of knowledge at school as the elevation of higher psychic functions of individuals, from the mediation of the adult in their relationship with the child, it is necessary for the subject, the child, to appropriate of its own historicity. We briefly present some pedagogical perspectives attributed to the term mediation in modernity, highlighting the theoretical-methodological foundations in Vygotsky, in other words, the development of higher psychological functions and the formation of concepts at school age. For the development of this research we chose the qualitative approach, since it starts from the social and subjective meanings related to it. With regard to the final considerations, we found different conceptions about the mediation process that point to a dichotomy between theory and practice, which corroborates the reproduction of the division of manual and intellectual labor in the middle of the production force. Keywords: Pedagogical mediation. Conception of the world. Knowledge construction.
