Vygotsky and Sociology
Informacje o e-booku
It includes contributions from long-established writers in education, psychology and sociology, as well as relatively recent contributors to the theoretical debates and the body of research to which it has given rise, presenting their own arguments and justifications for forging links between particular theoretical traditions and, in some cases, applying new insights to obdurate empirical questions.
Chapters include:
- Curriculum and pedagogy in the sociology of education; some lessons from comparing Durkheim and Vygotsky
- Dialectics, politics and contemporary cultural-historical research, exemplified through Marx and Vygotsky
- Sixth sense, second nature and other cultural ways of making sense of our surroundings: Vygotsky, Bernstein, and the languaged body
- Negotiating pedagogic dilemmas in non-traditional educational contexts
- Boys, skills and class: educational failure or community survival? Insights from Vygotsky and Bernstein.
Vygotsky and Sociology is an essential text for students and academics in the social sciences (particularly sociology and psychology), student teachers, teacher educators and researchers as well as educational professionals.
