商品簡介
Lake (multicultural education, Georgia Southern U.) introduces key themes in the education theory of Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky. This primer focuses in particular on his idea of the zone of proximal development and the progressive values underlying effective education. Lake underscores the way that Vygotsky challenged the status quo, giving special attention to his concern for the pedagogic significance of culture and history. One chapter explores the relationship between imagination and creative collaboration. Lake also provides an overview of Vygotsky's legacy in contemporary education.
