This will be the first time i'm using my Amazon Kindle for school reading. Vygotsky and the Social Formation. So far so good, just getting through the introductory stuff. it's crazy that he died @ such a young age of 38.
Although his main work was the Zone of Proximal Development, he also did alot in his studies of cognitive development, child 'play' which was a critical feature in the development of higher mental functions.
Perhaps Vygotsky's most important contribution concerns the inter-relationship of language development and thought.
I'm getting very interested in Vygotsky. More to come next week!
