Vygotsky s legacy in education is enduring and prolific, influencing educational research and scholarship in areas as far ranging child development, language and literacy development, bilingual education, and learning disabilities to name but a few. In this accessible, introductory volume renowned Vygtosky authority Luis C. Moll presents a summary of Vygtoskian core concepts, with particular attention to his cultural-historical approach to the study of thinking and development. Throughout Moll emphasizes what he considers the three central tenets of Vygotsky s scholarship and the corresponding on his own work---situating the person and his work; educational foundations; and especially cultural mediation. With both critical scrutinty of current interpretations of Vygotksian theory and clear deference for the theorist known as "The Mozart of Psychology," Moll stresses the many ways Vygotksy s theory can be a theory of possibilities for positive pedagogical change.
