By giving our students practice in talking with others, we give them frames for thinking on their own.
Lev S. VygotskyAny human act that gives rise to something new is referred to as a creative act, regardless of whether what is created is a physical object or some mental or emotional construct that lives within the person who created it and is known only to him.
Lev S. VygotskyLearning is more than the acquisition of the ability to think; it is the acquisition of many specialized abilities for thinking about a variety of things.
