| | Lev Vygotsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Vygotsky's work includes several key concepts, the most widely-known of which is the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) which relates to the gap or difference between what the child can learn unaided and what he or she can learn with the help of an adult or a more capable peer. | | | According to Vygotsky, the intellectual development of children is a function of human communities, rather than of individuals. | | | Vygotsky's model of human development has been termed as a sociocultural approach. |

| | TIP: Theories |
| | Vygotsky's theory is complementary to the work of Bandura on social learning and a key component of situated learning theory. | | | Because Vygotsky's focus was on cognitive development, it is interesting to compare his views with those of Bruner and Piaget. | | | A second aspect of Vygotsky's theory is the idea that the potential for cognitive development depends upon the "zone of proximal development" (ZPD): a level of development attained when children engage in social behavior. |

| | Lev Vygotsky theories and life |
| | Vygotsky was a prolific writer and he had created, with the collaboration of Alexander Luria and Alexi N Leont'ev, a completely new Marxist based approach to psychology which emphasises the improtance of social interaction in human development. | | | Vygotsky's new approach to psychology can be traced to both his socio-cultural context and his genius like skills of observation and knowledge intergration, supported by a photographic memory. | | | Vygotsky was an extraodinary individual who within his lifetime managed to stimulate a body of work that is continued today. |

| | Vygotsky was strongly influenced by Pavlov, the discoverer of the conditional reflex and leaned towards behaviourism, emphasising the requirement for science to adopt objective methods of investigation, in opposition to the introspective methods of Husserl, for example. | | | More recently, linguists and educationalists influenced by Piaget's Genetic Psychology have been drawn towards Vygotsky's work, seeing in it a superior understanding of the relationship between the educator and the educated, in which the educator must "negotiate" with the child or student who is credited with an active role in the learning process. | | | Vygotsky ran a medical practice in his native Byelorussia, actively participating in the development of the Revolution under atrocious conditions and almost total isolation from the West. |

| | Newman and Holzman cogently depict the methodological and substantive radicality of Vygotsky’s psychology. | | | Vygotsky, the Soviet psychologist from the 1920’s, has long been regarded as an importantly original thinker, his major books Thought and Language and Mind in Society making innovative contributions to the psychology of thinking, language, and development. | | | Yet, like William James, Vygotsky has suffered the fate of being more respected than read and even less understood – and for the similar reason that his perspective is radically critical of psychology& traditional assumptions. |

| | Vygotsky and Luria, in their book Studies on the History of Behavior: Ape, Primitive, and Child, and Luria, in his own work Cognitive development: Its cultural and social foundations laid the foundations of a 'Cultural-Historical' psychology that drew heavily on cross-cultural and cross-species work, both their own and that done by others. | | | This is an example of what Vygotsky means by an intermental ability: the ability the infant has to communicate his or her state cannot be located within the infant, but only in the relationship between the infant and the other person who acts so as to constitute yelling as a means of communication. | | | Vygotsky's notion of 'elementary psychological functions' would then describe what your psychological abilities would be like in that situation. |

| | Vygotsky never received formal training in psychology but his interest in psychology may, in part, have been stimulated by his literary concerns. | | | According to Vygotsky the acquisition of language as the most significant moment in the course of cognitive development, where words that already have meaning for mature members of a culture group come to have those same meanings for the young of the group in the process of interaction (Tudge, 1990). | | | Internalisation is one of Vygotsky’s key concepts relevant to social determination and is the process through which the internal stage of consciousness is formed. |

| | Vygotsky himself intended to reconstruct "the human sciences" with a new theory creating an understanding of, and practical solutions to, the social and educational problems of his time. | | | Vygotsky strove to create a theory reconstructing the human sciences to more effectively solve the social and educational problems of his time. | | | Vygotsky emphasized a historical perspective -- he called it a "genetic approach." By implication, consensus evolves in a historical context, Individuals are shaped by and have a hand in shaping society. |

| | Vygotsky acknowledged the maturational limits of the Zone of Proximal Development, but most psychological research has emphasized the role of the environment: parents and other adults who are ‘expert’ models and guides for a young learner. | | | One essential tenet in Vygotsky's theory is the notion of the existence of what he called the "zone of proximal development". | | | The language is also crucial and interrelated with the action, providing an additional tool used both to reflect on and direct behavior. |

| | For Vygotsky, in contrast, the child who is able to benefit from this type of help is actually revealing something highly important about his or her development. | | | However, school's importance is not so much as a context in which children are scaffolded, but rather as the setting in which children are encouraged to become "consciously aware" of themselves, their language, and their place in the world. | | | The contemporary view...is that data from a testing situation should be ignored if a child has been assisted in some way, as though the child who benefits from this assistance, or imitates the person who has helped, has done so in purely mechanical fashion. |

| | Vygotsky, born in Orsha, Byelorussia (now Belarus), was active in a number of other fields during his brief academic career, notably the psychological analysis of art and fables; child psychology, including the problems of deaf and retarded children; and the psychological analysis of brain-injured adults. | | | Soviet psychologist whose work on language and linguistic development is based on his supposition that higher cognitive processes are a product of social development. | | | From early research into the rules and development of tool-use and sign-use behaviour, Vygotsky turned to symbolic processes in language, focusing on the semantic structure of words and the way in which meanings of words change from emotive to concrete and then become more abstract. |

| | Within Vygotsky's conceptualisation of human psychology, a basic notion is that of mediation: | | | Second, the zone of proximal development (Vygotsky, 1962, 1978) leads to a view of school literacy instruction as sign-mediated activity nestled within socially mediated activity. | | | It thus seems appropriate to convene a celebration that may make a lasting contribution as a resource for teaching and research in this medium, in celebration of an individual whose thinking and research has contributed so much to our conceptualisation of education and development. |
