Abstract
This chapter discusses the contribution of Mariane Hedegaard to the developmental didactics that has been derived from the work of Vasily V. Davydov within the tradition of cultural-historical theory. Our objectives are: to point out advances in the cultural-historical approach; from the perspective of developmental teaching , to show how Hedegaard’s concepts and research results contribute to the theorization of the elements of the teaching-learning process; and finally, to acknowledge her contribution to pedagogical research , including a survey of the prevalence of Hedegaard’s ideas in educational research produced in Brazilian universities. We are particularly concerned to consider her contribution from the perspective of some of the challenges currently facing education in Brazil. To address these objectivities, we present a conception of didactics inspired by the theory of developmental teaching which includes Hedegaard’s contribution as has been elaborated, and has been elaborated in our studies and research .

The introduction of cultural-historical theory in Brazil occurred around the 1980s. In 1984 the Vygotsky ’s book Mind in Society––The development of a higher psychological process (published in 1978) was translated into Portuguese, entitled A formação social da mente (in English, The Social Formation of Mind). In 1987 Thought and Language (published in 1962), was published in Portuguese, also from the English version, with the title Pensamento e Linguagem. In the same decade, several research groups emerged around Vygotsky ’s thinking with variations in the denomination: cultural-historical theory, sociocultural theory, socio-historical-cultural theory. Currently, there are around 70 research groups in the country. The authors of this text founded, in 2004, a research line––Historical-cultural theory and school practices, within the Research Group on Theories of Education and Pedagogical Processes, at the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás, in the city of Goiânia, State of Goiás, Brazil.
