Discute-se o problema da avaliação escolar sob a perspectiva teórica de L.S. Vygotsky e tendo-se como ponto de partida as propostas políticas e pedagógicas da Secretaria de Educação do Estado do Paraná

Ever since the publication of the first translation of Vygotsky's Thought and Language (reborn as Thinking and Speech 25 years later) there has been an ongoing debate about the relationship between the ideas of Vygotsky and Piaget. In the brief space available, we have no interest in arguing the virtues of one man's ideas over the other. Instead, we will suggest that by and large commentators on the differences between these two thinkers have placed too narrow an emphasis on their ideas about the primacy of individual psychogenesis versus sociogenesis of mind while neglecting what we believe is a cardinal difference between them: their views concerning the importance of culture, in particular, the role of mediation of action through artifacts, on the development of mind. The Primacy of Cultural Mediation,Social Origins, Mind is distributed

Professor Piaget wrote these comments after reading in manuscript Chapter 2 and excerpts from Chapter 6 of Vygotsky’s Thought and Language; It is not without sadness that an author discovers, twenty-five years after its publication, the work of a colleague who has died in the meantime, when that work contains so many points of immediate interest to him which should have been discussed personally and in detail. Although my friend A. Luria kept me up to date concerning Vygotsky’s sympathetic and yet critical position with respect to my work, I was never able to read his writings or to meet him in person, and in reading his book today, I regret this profoundly, for we could have come to an understanding on a number of points

In recent years many similarities, especially centering on the notion of dialogue, have been noted in the writings of Mikhail Bakhtin and Lev Vygotsky. Although both attend to the dialogical character of speech and its role in the social constitution and genesis of mind, we argue that their understandings of dialogue are different in important ways. We then consider the implications of such differences for a broader cultural-historical view of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) by focusing on three issues: dialogue, otherness, and the need to consider a "third" voice. These issues lead us to consider expanding the ZPD to incorporate Magistral, Socratic, and Menippean dialogues. These dialogues constitute three regions on a continuum with centripetal Vygotskian and centrifugal Bakhtinian poles and emerge at different points of development of as well as within the ZPD. This expanded ZPD provides a medium for cultural and historical change as well as for individual socialization.

Este trabajo tiene dos objetivos. Por una parte, explicar las dificultades de la psicología a la hora de abordar la producción y la comprensión del arte y, por otra, indicar hacia donde parecen ir las investigaciones que permitirían empezar a construir una psicología que pueda incluir estos temas como parte de su objeto de estudio. Se ha tratado de manera especial la obra de Gardner, por considerarla pionera, de Vigouroux, porque es puntera, y de Vygotski, para rendirle homenaje en su centenario y poner en evidencia que fue uno de los primeros autores que sostuvieron que la psicología debe tener la capacidad de explicar la reacción estética.

I want to tell you about a person who has been described in many ways: an "outstanding scientist", an "eminent scholar", and even a "genius". Well-known philosopher and historian of science Stephen Toulmin once called him a "Mozart of Psychology". I want to tell you about Lev Semenovich Vygotsky.

Vygotsky is distinctive in the field of psychology because he articulated a profoundly social explanation of human psychology. Whereas most other psychologists postulate intra-organismic determinants of psychological phenomena (such as physiological mechanisms or free will) or some interaction between intra-organismic and social factors, Vygotsky regarded human psychology as entirely social. He said that psychological phenomena originate in social interaction, they are organized by social relations, and their constituents are social artifacts such as linguistic symbols. Vygotsky's social account of psychology is comprehensible when viewed in relation to his political views and his early work experience. A brief discussion of this context is therefore in order before explaining the details of his psychological stand- point.

El destino de la obra científica de Lev S. Vygotsky es excepcional. En primer lugar, Vygotsky, uno de los más grandes psicólogos del siglo XX, no recibió nunca una educación formal en psicología. Fallecido a los 37 años, sólo pudo dedicar un decenio a su labor científica y no llegó a ver la publicación de sus obras más importantes. Pero, aun así, Vygotsky, el Mozart de la psicología (como lo llamara el filósofo S.Tulmin), fué el autor de una de las teorías más prometedoras en esta disciplina. Más de medio siglo después de su muerte, ahora que se han publicado sus principales obras, Vygotsky se ha convertido en un autor de vanguardia: “Es indudable que, en múltiples aspectos, Vygotsky se adelantó considerablemente a nuestra propia época”, afirma uno de sus mejores intérpretes (Rivière,1984, pág. 120). Este fenómeno, harto raro en la historia de la ciencia, puede acaso explicarse por dos factores vinculados extrechamente entre sí: la envergadura y la originalidad de su producción científica, elaborada en periodo relativamente breve, constituyen la prueba palpable de que Vygotsky era un genio. Por otro lado, la actividad de Vygotsky se desarrolló en un periodo de cambios históricos espectaculares: la Revolución de Octubre en Rusia. El sistema psicológico de Vygotsky se basa en una teoría del desarrollo mental ontogenético que a su vez, por muchos de sus aspectos, constituye una teoría histórica del desarrollo individual. Se trata, por tanto, de una concepción genética de un fenómeno genético. De ello cabe extraer seguramente una enseñanza epistemológica: parece ser que las épocas históricas de cambios revolucionarios agudizan la sensibilidad del pensamiento humano y la predisponen hacia todo lo que atañe a la génesis, la transformación, la dinámica, el devenir y la evolución.

La importancia del llamado segundo sistema de señales en el marco del desarrollo de la psicología de soviética, basada en el criterio marxista-leninista de la conciencia como producto de la materia altamente organizada, supuso una apuesta revolucionaria que provocó, a la larga, un cambio de parámetros en la cultura occidental. Sorprendentemente, esta misma apuesta teórica que sobrepone el poder del medio y destierra la posibilidad del innatismo, se fraguó paralelamente a otras concepciones filosóficas aparentemente lejanas cuyas repercusiones finales no han sido menos convulsivas. Este debate clásico, el de la mente y la materia, parece haber quedado clausurado precisamente en el exterior del propio hombre, en sus condiciones de existencia, y todavía hoy la psicología parece no haber encontrado una respuesta sólida a nivel epistemológico para solventar los problemas que esta concepción ha desencadenado en su seno.

En el presente trabajo se define el concepto de metacognición bajo tres prespectivas teóricas: el procesamiento de la información, la epistemología genética de J. Piaget y la escuela Histórico cultural de Vigotsky. Se inicia describiendo los primeros trabajos de Flavell sobre la memoria y su definición con respecto a la metacognición así como sus diferentes componentes. Se continúa con la postura del procesamiento de la información la cuál menciona que cualquier actividad cognitiva requiere un sistema de control que planifique, regule y evalúe la actividad en curso para que sea ejecutada en forma correcta; después, en la postura de Piaget se menciona que aude a tres conceptos básicos para explicar la metacognición que son la toma de conciencia, la abstracción y la autorregulación y, por último, se hace referencia a Vigotsky quién aunque explícitamente no menciona el concepto, se puede aludir a él cuando explica que el control voluntario, la realización consciente, los orígenes sociales y la mediación son características que se encuentran presentes en todos los procesos psicológicos de orden superior. Finalmente se discuten las características especiales que, cada una de las corrientes teóricas revisadas, enfatizan para el estudio de la metacognición.

Chapter 3: PRAGMATICS, SETTING UP THE DEBATE,PRACTICE

This volume of Vygotsky's Collected Works contains important writings on the development of human psychology from early childhood to adolescence. The volume is divided into two sections. The first contains about one-half of the chapters of Vygotsky's book, Pedology of the Adolescent. This book was published during Vygotsky's lifetime in a limited number of copies. The second section consists of separate articles which were published after Vygotsky died.

It is at this point that we run into a contradiction. And as a result, we can easily find ourselves diverted from our concern with the nature of Vygotsky's enabling theory-method.

Abstract, An Overview of Sociocultural Theory, Vygotsky's Methodological Approach, Sociocultural Educational Research and Practice, Conclusion.

Traditionally in the social and behavioral sciences, seeking a single, unified, orderly account of things, we have spoken and written about ourselves as disembodied, isolated, self-contained individuals. We think of ourselves as existing in a fixed world of objects that we come to know, primarily, in a visual-intellectual manner, through our observations of them. As such, we have assumed that we can only come to know our own true nature in such a world by our empirical testing of our possible representations of it for their accuracy. However, unlike computers and other machines, as living, embodied beings, we cannot be wholly indifferent to the world around us. We must, to an extent, continuously react and respond to it, spontaneously, whether we like it or not, and in so doing, we must of necessity, relate and connect ourselves to our surroundings in one way or another.

When one mixes up the epistemological problem with the ontological one by introducing into psychology not the whole argumentation but its final results, this leads to the distortion of both.

In the process of development the child not only masters the items of cultural experience but the habits and forms of cultural behaviour, the cultural methods of reasoning. We must, therefore, distinguish the main lines in the development of the child’s behaviour. First, there is the line of natural development of behaviour which is closely bound up with the processes of general organic growth and the maturation of the child. Second, there is the line of cultural improvement of the psychological functions, the working out of new methods of reasoning, the mastering of the cultural methods of behaviour

Researchers in education, psychology, and related fields have historically been concerned with the extent to which the research methods they employ affect the emergence of the data they collect and analyze, with many textbooks cautioning researchers about the perils of the Hawthorne effect. The operative metaphors that have characterized researchers' implication in the data collection process have stressed the notion of the purity of data: Researchers "intrude" through their media and procedures, or worse, they "contaminate" the data by introducing some foreign body into an otherwise sterile field. Data collection procedures, according to this metaphor, must be neutral and inconspicuous in order to capture data in their immaculate form.

In this article, then, I have been trying to reorient our current intellectual focus away from cognitive matters, away from our deliberately planned and executed activities, and toward those occurrences that happen to us over and above our wanting and doing (Gadamer) – our spontaneous ways of acting, and the anticipations and expectations to which, in the course of their flow, they give rise.

Paper prepared for the biennial conferences of the International Society for Theoretical Psychology, Istanbul, Turkey, June 22-27, 2003

Vygotsky's study of the relationship of thought and language is a model of the materialist application of the dialectical method of the first order of importance, both by reason of its results and of its methods. Hegel and Marx have given us the foundation for understanding what is objective in the subject-object relation; Vygotsky has given us an approach to understanding the subjective side of this relation. A study of his results and methods will help us greatly in understanding the true significance of Hegel's method and his system. Nature is infinitely complex, as is the reflection of external nature in the life-processes of humanity. Nature and human existence manifest themselves in a multiplicity of co-existent "levels" constituting the subject matter of the various sciences both natural and human. Each specific science reveals its own laws which may be elucidated with the aid of the dialectical method of which Vygotsky's work is an example. The relation between each science again constitutes the basis for a unique study. Vygotsky's comments on the development of psychology are generally applicable:

During the last three decades the name of Russian scholar Lev Vygotsky has become increasingly known as one of the most important in the history of psychology. Practically all his main books are translated to English and other languages; several international conferences were dedicated to his contribution to modern psychology. The huge amount of literature in Russia and the West makes it possible to speak of "Vygotsky’s boom" in discussing his original impact on modern psychology, pedagogy, social sciences, and the theory of science, epistemology, and the methodology of cognition
