This article proposes to present essential aspects of the analyzes constructed from a theoretical research that had the objective of analyzing the contributions that Historical-Critical Pedagogy and Historical-Cultural Psychology present in relation to the potentialities and possibilities that the school education and the teaching activity promote the development of voluntary attention of the students. Thus, the development of this psychological function in its cultural dimension was assumed as the object of study. The analyzes sought to highlight elements of the development of attention in the productions of Historical-Cultural Psychology and of Historical-Critical Pedagogy that may assist in the achievement of the objective presented by this research, highlighting the need to consider historical-dialectical materialism as a theoretical perspective -methodological guide of the theories analyzed. The empirical material of the research consisted of articles, theses and books that discuss the development of attention and the role of teaching for such development. As a synthesis of the essential dimensions identified through the analysis of the works it is necessary to understand that the development of human psychological functions is not exclusively in a process of biological maturation, but rather it articulates and submits this dimension to the cultural, historical and social aspects of human development. The adoption of Historical-Cultural Psychology as a theoretical-methodological perspective for the organization of teaching and teaching activity, proves to be an important tool for confronting the medical logic.

Keywords : Human Development; Education; Historical-Cultural Psychology.
