It is intended to highlight the affective aspects present in the pedagogical mediation process, during orientation and realization of the activities of those involved in the project according to a monistic conception of human being, considering the formation of people both intellectual as affective. Because it is a research with qualitative methodological approach, it aims to elucidate the universe of meanings of a group of participating students of the Project, as well with the teacher-supervisor of the selected group. The research is based on the area of psychology theories, such as VYGOTSKY (1998, 2005) and WALLON (1968, 1979, 1995), also counting on the approach of LEITE (2002, 2012, 2013, 2014). The data collection will be held through the procedure of Recurrent Interviews, and they will be grouped into meaning core by the researcher, with the participation of the interviewees. Then, these cores will be analyzed and discussed based on the theoretical approach assumed. The relevance of the research lies in the importance expressed by effectuation, at school, teaching cultural objects from experiences that, based on research, can help in the formation of protagonists' students in the relation with knowledge, besides contributing to studies related to the theme of affectivity.
