The meaning and origin of the activity concept in Soviet psychology—with primary focus on A. N. Leontiev’s approach
The concept of activity in Soviet psychology reflects a fundamental ontological assumption about the dynamic internal relation between person and world, arising from a person’s intentional actions, which draws on historically developed traditions of action. The article gives a deeper understanding of the activity concept by examining the historical process by which the concept was formed, providing a compact conceptual overview of the concept, fo…

Social Scientific Research and Societal Practice
The main interest is the relationship between social scientific research and societal practice, with specific attention on action research and cultural-historical research. To provide a productive way to engage with these research traditions, a historically-grounded, superordinate perspective is formulated that places practice in the centre. This perspective, which is more general than and historically prior to action research and cultural-histor…

Foreword by Seth Chaiklin
The historical development of the cultural–historical research tradition can be understood conceptually in a simple dialectic of “oral-written-oral.” From the 1920s through roughly the 1970s, persons actively engaged in doing research in the cultural–historical tradition were likely to be living in Moscow, to have studied in Moscow, or to have regular access to persons who were living or had studied there. In short, the dominant form for coming t…
Critical Perspectives on Activity
The last two decades have seen an international explosion of interest in theories of mind, culture, and activity. This unique collection is the first to explicitly reach back to the tradition's original critical impulse within which the writings of Karl Marx played such a central role. Each author pushes this impulse further to address leading contemporary questions. It includes a diverse array of international scholars working from the fields of…
The Zone of Proximal Development in Vygotsky's Analysis of Learning and Instruction
What kind of instruction is optimal for a particular child? Without doubt, this question is immediately comprehensible to any committed teacher in virtually any country in the world, and most teachers are likely to want concrete answers to the question, not only as a theoretical puzzle, but in relation to their immediate practices. If one were to look to scientific psychology and educational research for advice in relation to this practical probl…
Understanding Practice
Understanding Practice brings together the many different perspectives that have been applied to examining social context. From Ole Dreier's work on the therapeutic relationship, to Hugh Mehan's work on learning by disabled students, to Charles and Janet Keller's work on blacksmithing, the chapters form a diverse and fascinating look at situated learning. A distinctive feature of the book is the wide range of theoretical and methodological approa…
The horse before the cart
When schools in the United States use computers as part of their instructional practices with minority children, they tend to use the same practices that take place without the technology, namely, remediation (Boruta et al., 1983; Center for the Social Organization of Schools, 1983). Computers are used primarily as instructional delivery systems to provide drill and practice programs instead of as tools (e.g., word processors, databases, spreadsh…
