Vygotsky and Pedagogy

by Harry Daniels

Overview

The Routledge Classic Edition of Daniels’ influential 2001 text Vygotsky and Pedagogy explores the growing interest in Vygotsky and the pedagogic implications of the body of work that is developing under the influence of his theories.

With a new preface from Harry Daniels this book explores the growing interest in Vygotsky and the pedagogic implications of the body of work that is developing under the influence of his theories. It provides an overview of the ways in which the original writing has been extended and identifies areas for future development. The author considers how these developments are creating new and important possibilities for the practices of teaching and learning in school and beyond, and illustrates how Vygotskian theory can be applied in the classroom.

The book is intended for students and academics in education and the social sciences and will be of interest to all those who wish to develop an analysis of pedagogic practice within and beyond the field of education.

Editorial Reviews

'In giving us a very comprehensive review of work in ‘cultural’ psychology, Daniels has pointed the way to a more thorough analysis of each particular aspect mentioned. Finally, his chosen approach is infused with the new air of explanatory adequacy that the originality of his own approach provides.' - Carol MacDonald, Cultural Psychology
