Affectivity and Cognition in Secondary Education

This work is the result of the authors life experience and tireless studies as an educator, in an attempt to prove the interference of affectivity in the construction of knowledge and in the life of every human being as a whole. Through a study carried out on the school floor, the author looks for evidence of the positive and negative interferences that occur in the school environment and which, directly or indirectly, affect the development of student learning. As well as demonstrating the transformative or destructive power that teachers have in the exercise of their profession, the author seeks answers to the events that occurred in the classroom when he attended the initial grades of elementary school and had both extremely pleasant and unpleasant experiences in his literacy process. These experiences were reflected throughout his academic life. This book seeks to provide guidance to education professionals so that they can reflect on and become aware of the importance of their work as educators and promoters of the future dreams of their students or, in a similar way, destroyers of dreams.
