From Concept Attainment to Knowledge Formation

Pages 89-94 | Published online: 17 Nov 2009
 

Abstract

In this article, Vygotsky's distinction between everyday and scientific concepts is outlined, and its hidden assumptions are stated. It is argued that Vygotsky's distinction was plausible and fruitful, but that it was problematic in its details and its application in actual schooling. Vygotsky's legacy can be criticized on both theoretical and empirical grounds, and Vygotskians are urged to continue this process.
