This article, resulting from a Masterthesis, analyzes elements of the piagetian constructivist theory in the process of literacy and the conception of teachers in João Pessoa (PB) municipal schools. Such study is justified in the recurrent discourse of the teachers about constructivism, and by the assumption of different associations made by teachers in relation to theory and practice. The methodology of this study is developed in a qualitative perspective, the study has the historical materialism as scientific method. The research allows us to highlight the contradictions in the conception of the teachers, as well as the need for a greater understanding on theories of education, since the little that is know n about this theory is co nfused with other theoretical presuppositions.
Keywords : Piagetian constructivist theory; Literacy; Teacher conception.
