MIRANDA, Simão Francisco de. Afeto e auto-estima nas relações interativas em início de escolarização. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.25, pp.299-310. ISSN 1981-0431.

This article, in the light of the social-historical-cultural perspective, discusses the affection and self-esteem in the didactic relations between teacher-students and students-students in early school education. Presents the main concepts and outlines the role of communication and metacommunication in such interactions, relating them with the construction of self-esteem. Summarizes the empirical study carried out by the author involving 12 children of one 1st Grade of Primary Education (current Second Year) of a public school of the Federal District (six with and six with no indications of desirable self-esteem). It objectified, among other questions, to understand the possible motivations potentially capable of increasing changes in the course of the processes of construction of self-esteem, starting from the communicative and metacommunicative didactic interactions between children-children and teacherchildren. Among the main conclusions, we suggest the urgent and permanent investment in the quality of affective communication and metacommunication interactions in the context studied to expand the possibilities of the most desirable construction of self-esteem in our small children.
