Mind in Society: Development of Higher Psychological Processes by Lev S. Vygotsky
4.0
A book read in pursuit of understanding education and how best to teach people, Vygotsky's points here are valid, inciteful and required if one wishes to truly know how best to teach someone from a theoretical perspective. Notably his idea of scaffolding, characterised through his zone of proximal development (ZPD) is always going to remain valuable knowledge.
However, it is docked a mark in this regard as what he says how now been outlined clearer and presented more smoothly, but that's the mere passage of time working its magic as teachers and psychologists of today can redraft his work.
For its time, this book was vital and remains important today. Definitely give it a read if you're pursuing education as a career or simply wish to expand your psychological knowledge.
