Psychological Tools by Alex Kozulin
Kozulin argues that the Vygotskian concept of psychological tools offers a useful way to analyze cross-cultural differences in thought and to develop practical strategies for educating immigrant children from widely different cultures.
Kozulin has established himself as a significant interpreter of Vygotsky, and Psychological Tools makes a major contribution to our ability to think in psychological terms about what actually happens in the process of education-- Sheldon White, Harvard University
Clarifies for the contemporary reader just how Vygotsky's thought evolved, in clear, precise language that makes Vygotsky's work accessible to novices. Kozulin gives us a fresh perspective on Vygotsky's key concept of psychological tools by showing how it works in classrooms filled with children from radically different cultures. -- Jane E. Knox-Voina, Bowdoin College
This is a magnificent book. It is brief, devourable and rich in both its erudition and thought-provoking ideas. As soon as I had finished it for the first time, I immediately began again… This is a book which can be read at a number of different levels and where the author’s love of and deep knowledge about his subject shines through every page. -- Bob Burden * British Journal of Educational Psychology *
