Sandra Smidt takes the reader on a journey through Vygotsky’s key concepts in relation to early learning and teaching, making explicit the links between these concepts and discussing each one in an easily accessible style.
Sandra Smidt takes the reader on a journey through the key concepts of Lev Vygotsky, one of the twentieth century’s most influential theorists in the field of early education. His ground-breaking principles of early learning and teaching are unpicked here using every-day language, and critical links between his fascinating ideas are revealed.
Introducing Vygotsky is an invaluable companion for anyone involved with children in the early years. The introduction of Vygotsky’s key concepts is followed by discussion of the implications of these for teaching and learning. Each chapter also includes a useful glossary of terms.
This accessible text is illustrated throughout with examples drawn from real-life early years settings and the concepts discussed include:
mediation and memory
culture and cultural tools
mental functions
language, concepts and thinking
activity theory
play and meaning.
Essential reading for all those interested in or working with children, Introducing Vygotsky emphasises the social nature of learning and examines the importance of issues such as culture, history, language, and symbols in learning.
