PUENTES, Roberto Valdés. V. V. Repkin: conception of the subject of study activity (1990-2021). Obutchénie: R. de Didat. e Psic. Pedag. [online]. 2023, vol.7, n.1, a2023-69012.  Epub Sep 15, 2025. ISSN 2526-7647.  https://doi.org/10.14393/obv7n1.a2023-69012.

This article addresses the concept of the subject of study developed by V. V. Repkin between 1990 and 2021, which changed the direction, objectives, and content of developmental learning from the perspective of the Elkonin-Davidov-Repkin psychological-didactic system. The author introduced the subject of study as the fundamental neoformation in early school age at the beginning of the 1990s. The text aims, first of all, to show that the consolidation of the Theory of Study Activity would have been impossible without the development of the concept of the subject from the point of view of its specific psychological content. Before V. V. Repkin, the idea of the subject of study was essentially abstract and insubstantial, based on descriptive aspects associated, in general, with phenomena external to the subject itself. Secondly, it seeks to analyze the process of genesis, development, and improvement of V. V. Repkin's research on the subject of study, especially those carried out between 1990 and 2021. It is concluded that V. V. Repkin changed the very concept of developmental learning in early school age with his studies on the subject, considered the subject the fundamental objective of study activity (instead of theoretical thinking), established the concept of "subject as source," as well as its psychological content and structure, the fundamental characteristics of its conception, and the different levels through which it transits during its process of ascent.

Keywords : V. V. Repkin; Developmental Learning; Study Activity; Subject as Source.
