To ask about vygotsky?

34 replies

vygotskyyyyyyy · 03/12/2020 21:42

Can anybody help? What other theorists have been influenced by Vygotsky?
I can only think of Bruner and Bonfrenbrenner. Maybe a bit of Bandura as well?
But is there anybody else? I know Bruner is the main one.

Jean Piaget is a big name in learning theories. Could perhaps look at the Montessori movement?

FlibbertyGiblets · 03/12/2020 21:55

Piaget influenced him iirc?

I'm looking for theorists after Vygotsky so Piaget wouldn't be included would he as they are both similar times?
Montessori has a bit of constructionist theory to it so I could look into that.

His work on scaffolding and modelling is so central and mainstream now that it is hard to pick out individual influencees, isn't it?

How is this an AIBU? You are BU to expect most people to understand the question!

toomuchicecream · 03/12/2020 22:30

You can do a reverse search on google scholar. Put in one of Vygotsky’s key papers - you can then click on ‘cited by’ -that will at least tell you who has quoted him.

It's a long time since I had to write about learning theories but I remember writing about Ausubel too

All those essays I wrote on "what is learning" and I can't honestly say when I'm planning lessons my first thoughts are what would Piaget or Vygotsky suggest

@parietal how is asking for advice plagerism? I have asked for some suggestions because I wanted a few ideas of people to research, in the same way I would ask peers, teachers etc. for advice. Nowhere here have I asked someone to write a paragraph explaining the theory, I was just asking for some names

How about the Reggio Emilia approach?

Whatnext2018 · 03/12/2020 23:12

Is this for an Early years/teaching degree/masters?

jerometheturnipking · 03/12/2020 23:13

Rogoff’s work on scaffolding was influenced by Vygorsky.

Whatnext2018 · 03/12/2020 23:13

Steiner, Waldorf, Maria Montessori, Piaget

ViciousJackdaw · 03/12/2020 23:14

IIRC, Vygotsky has been revisited recently - search 'Vygotsky revision' and that should give some pointers. I take it you're doing some branch of Psychology?

Stupid fat thumbs. Lev will haunt me now for that 😕
