Mediation in Early Childhood Education: the possibility of learning

Child education favors a learning context for the child when it enables a process of mediation. Mediation in education is intervention that establishes intermediary relationships for learning. The work is a bibliographical essay that discusses in the work of Lev Vygotski the process of mediation in education and in children's authors the possibility of learning through mediation in early childhood education. The text discusses a course of mediation that allows a multiplicity of actions for the understanding of the learning that departs from the interest of the child. The child in the process of mediation is involved by indirect relationships, that is, a mediated action to perform some activity. The discussion points out that the environment for the child in early childhood education has multiple learning from situations mediated by signs, instruments and more experienced subjects, in which it enables the construction of knowledge in the expansion of the experiences making the children active subjects of their learning.
