Summary: Taking the cultural-historical theory of development as a theoretical-metodological frame we offer some points for creating a communication model in pre-school education. Considering the thesis of social interaction as a formative factor in the development of a series of mental functions, we are trying to find out the basic characteristic of the most productive forms of communication/interaction for development within the context of institutional pre-school education. Discussing some aspects of communication influence on the child development (language development area, development of epistemic curiosity and self-concept) we explore some specific patterns of interaction with adult and peers. The nature of the adult's assistance as adequante if it is a balanced system of support in a cooperative, joint action which presuposes the adult's ability to "sense" the zone in which interaction moves the development forward.

Keywords: communication, interaction, zone of proximal development, cognitive conflict, semiotic mediation, exploratory behavior, higher mental functions, curiosity, self-evaluation,

Research goals: Goals: To investigate (to higlight) the basic characteristics of themost productive forms of communication/interaction within theinstitutional pre-school education as the most systematized formof social mediation in the child's individual development (theinteraction with adult-teacher and with peers). Expected results: By studyng the specific patterns of social interaction which thechild is involved in, we are trying to give some basic points forestablishing a model of communication in the institutionalpre-school education. These results can be used for the development of the metodologyof learning in the dialoguae.
