Vygotsky’s Developmental Theory: An Introduction

Synopsis
Introduces the life, vocabulary and concepts of Lev Vygotsky, whose work is being increasingly cited as the theory and practice of constructivist education are reconsidered. Illustrates basic concepts integral to his work: children construct knowledge, learning can lead development, development cannot be separated from its social context, and language plays a central role in mental development.
