This article presents the essence of Elkonin and Davidov’s research on developmental didactics based on the assumptions developed by Vigotski, regarding the role of education and teaching, in the construction of the human psyche. In the meantime, we highlight the understanding of the importance of the connection between education and development, the definition of the role of the school in transforming the reality of its students, the purpose of the construction of scientific theoretical thought in the student and, also, how scientific concepts, which are mediated, can institute in the awareness. Regarding specifically the Elkonin-Davidov system, the development of thought that was and is considered a pedagogical revolution was emphasized. Finally, it exposes the main theoretical and practical contributions that the system has made, through laboratory research, experimental schools and in the public basic education network.
