Often it thinks that the feelings constitute a phenomenon parallel to the authentic learning, the affectability is contemplated like slightly foreign to the pedagogic daily urgencies. Nevertheless, the feelings seem to be present in the processes of significant learning, for what he seems to be pertinent to consider them suitable from a pedagogic worry for the human construction. The educational action today can not ignore the affective dimension of the human nature. If it is tried to form free persons, with own, critical and creative identities, the place of the feelings in the education is inexcusable. Accepting the important plenary session of our personal identity is the challenge that we all have in the current education, it supposes the restoration of the humanity, the restitution of the recognition of our humanity completes and, therefore, of the entire humanity in the others. Devoid with feelings, deliberately or not, the task of learning is threatened by the lack of humanization.
