MEANING NUCLEI: THE DIALETICAL APPROACH OF MEANING APPREHENSIONS PRODUCED IN GROUPS

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explain a form of analysis based on the proposal called meaning nuclei, in order to clarify the dialectical apprehension process of meanings produced in groups. Based on the Socio-Historical Psychology, the paper is divided into three sections that debate an investigation carried out with the management teams of three public schools in São Paulo. The first one discusses elements of the context in which the research was carried out. Then, the analysis procedure, focusing on the material and definition of the research corpus is detailed. Finally, the paper presents an internuclei analysis, in which, by looking into the questions that emerge in each nucleus, the authors show the bindings that articulate them. This process takes place under the light of the theoretical basis of contemporary literature on the subject studied.
