Abstract

In this work, the importance of mediation for the teaching and learning process is emphasized, that is, the teacher as a mediator of knowledge will work in the child's proximal development zone, so that he / she appropriates systematized scientific knowledge. Thus, it is clear that playing and playing are important sources of development and learning, enabling students to appropriate knowledge and skills in the realm of language, cognition, values ​​and sociability. Therefore, we can affirm that it is in playing and playing that children are constituted as agents of their social experience, autonomously organizing their actions and interactions, elaborating plans and forms of joint actions, creating rules of social coexistence and participation. After all, the purpose of the school is to promote the integral training of students.
