ABSTRACT: This paper aims to investigate the dynamics of a learning group in a science workshop. The group selected for the research consisted of four students of the last years of elementary school I, 9 to 10 years old children. The data were collected by the teacher, upon recording the video lessons, at a public school in the municipality of Londrina-Paraná/Brazil. The theoretical basis used for the analysis and interpretation of the data is psychotherapy guidance, particularly the Theory of the Link Pichon-Rivière. Among the main findings, it is highlighted the link set between the group and the teacher, which contributed to a more stable organization among the members, including with the acceptance of a student who felt excluded. The contributions refer to the discussion of some relevant aspects of collaborative learning in order to promote and support the educational process through learning group in the classroom.
