Vygotskian Perspectives, June 28, 2007
This review is from: Culture, Communication, and Cognition: Vygotskian Perspectives (Hardcover)
The ideas of the Soviet semiotician and psychologist L. S. Vygotsky (1896-1934) are only now beginning to have a major impact in the West. In this volume, distinguished scholars influenced by his approach consider the foundations of Vygotsky's psychology, explain the current significance of his work, and discuss its implications for problems in child development, education, and the study of language and thought. An extended introductory chapter relates the issues to one another and provides context. Culture, Communication, and Cognition offers the most comprehensive view of Vygotsky's contribution and potential contributions thus far. It will be important reading for cognitive and developmental psychologists, educational researchers. linguists, and semioticians.
