Development and Learning in the Context of Social Interactions: L. Vygotsky vs J. Piaget

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of contemporary didactics, touching upon the issue of the structure, transmission and acquisition of knowledge.The focus is on understanding the correlation between the content of knowledge and the way it is translated (transmitted) from one person to another, from an adult to a child. We analyze the initial, joint-distributed form of activity that is specific for efficient teaching of children.
