LEMOS, Ana Stela Couto; MAGIOLINO, Lavínia Lopes Salomão  and  SILVA, Daniele Nunes Henrique. Development and Personality: the role of the environment in early childhood. Educ. Real. [online]. 2022, vol.47, e116926. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236116926vs01.

Based on the theoretical and methodological considerations of Vygotsky’s pedological studies, we aimed to discuss the social situation of development in the process of personality constitution, marked by crisis. Taking the case of a three-year-old child considered aggressive, we proceeded to the detailed presentation and transcription of the data, focusing on the intricacies of the social relations waged in the educational context. The analysis explores the relationship between development and personality via signification. It shows that the experience lived by the child in a critical period also felt and signified in a specific context, affects her personality. It allows us to re-dimensioning the idea of the environment as a promoter of development.

Keywords : Historic-Cultural Theory; Early Childhood Education; Child Psychology; Development.
