Educational Psychology (1997)

Media Type: Book

Category: Teaching Theory and Psychology

Description\Summary

L.S. Vygotsky believe that the child should be the main figure in the educational process - and the efforts of the teacher should be directed toward organizing, not dictating, the child's development. This book addresses many issues that are still relevant in the 1990s - abnormal social behavior, the nurturing of creativity and reasoning, problems with attention and memory - in a bold and opinionated fashion that is sure to delight educators as well as lovers of classical Russian writing.
