This 2003 book comprehensively covers all major topics of Vygotskian educational theory and its classroom applications. Particular attention is paid to the Vygotskian idea of child development as a consequence rather than premise of learning experiences. Such a reversal allows for new interpretations of the relationships between cognitive development and education at different junctions of the human life span. It also opens new perspectives on atypical development, learning disabilities, and assessment of children's learning potential. Classroom applications of Vygotskian theory are discussed in the book. Teacher training and the changing role of a teacher in a sociocultural classroom is discussed in addition to the issues of teaching and learning activities and peer interactions. Relevant research findings from the US, Western Europe, and Russia are brought together to clarify the possible new applications of Vygotskian ideas in different disciplinary areas.

"Kozulin, Gindis, Ageyev, and Miller have masterfully brought together a series of papers that create a dynamic picture of the past, present, and future of Vygotsky's theories in various socio-cultural contexts...Clearly written and well organized...Does an excellent job of describing the nature of the socio-cultural approach to education as deeply philosphical and pragmatic at the same time."
