Opis

Vygotsky was one of the most talented and creative Soviet psychologists. His innovative theories of thought and speech are important not only for psychology but for other disciplines also - linguistics, education, semiotics and sociology. As the ideas of Piaget have decreased in popularity, so those of Vygotsky have increased and his impact in these other areas has begun to be felt. This is especially so in the field of education, and in this book Harry Daniels has brought together a range of experts to explore the work of Vygotsky and its influence and impact for educational practice.
