Connection between speech, tools and thoughts

I've just finished half of this reading and there are many thoughts going on in my mind now. When I began to type my thoughts here, I'm not sure the relationship between my language and my thinking. Whether my language shapes my thinking in a logical way, or the ideas in my mind employed my language to express themselves. Is the computer or the keyboard the tool that I am using to control my behaviors and thoughts? Plus the notes I've taken from the reading. Are those auxiliary signs that could create 'functional barrier' between my primary and final moments of reactions?

I've been thinking about how the reorganization of the function of memory and attention may shape my practical operation now. Actually, it's hard to figure out my primary and final operations exactly. Does the language or the tool reshape my gravity of attention on writing this blog or it is this writing process (practical operation) help me combine speech with thoughts through tools?

Vygotsky mentioned the perceptions of the present, past and future. I feel like the distinction between humans and animals lies in the senses of the timeline. However, the animal still has good memories, isn't it? Why they could not infuse the perceptions of the past and future into the present moment so as to reshape their biological organization of behavior. And what're the differences between their language and human being's language. In all, for the transformation from the biological organization of behavior to the psychological system of function, I couldn't fully understand what the role of speech plays in this process.

ZPD vs. Scaffolding

Reading Wood et al.'s (1976) original article in which they introduce the metaphor of "scaffolding" really makes clear how different this is from ZPD.  There is no collaboration (perhaps a better word is co-operation) between the expert and the child... the expert guides the child's actions through controlling their immediate problem-solving experience. The model of scaffolding assumes that the expert is, in a sense, all-knowing in relation to the problem and is not an active participant in the actions of problem-solving.  Vygotsky's theory really seems to require a much more dynamic social interaction or series of social interactions. I also question to what extent a tutor operating in this way can engage with a child's everyday and scientific concepts in a meaningful way. Having read Smagorinsky's (2018) article once more, it is hard not to be convinced of his position. He confirmed with Anna Stetsenko at CUNY (who earned her PhD in Psychology at Mosco...

Can scientific concepts be taught as everyday concepts? My middle school physics teacher

Image
I began reading the chapter on the development of scientific concepts and it was interesting to see how Vygotsky differentiates between scientific and everyday concepts. Scientific concepts are simply learned or received in completed form (most commonly introduced as a term along with its definition) which in turn leads to understanding, learning, and comprehension. Whereas, everyday concepts do not have a formal definition, need not be universal but still helps us understand the functioning of the society and the world in which we live. When reflecting on all this, I was reminded of a middle school physics teacher I had (Sadly, we had her only for one year), who would not introduce new concepts as 'words' and definitions but instead, would begin class with a demonstration. One of which is depicted below. I so vividly remember her explaining inertia through this method:                                 ...

Learning from teaching vs Impactful experiences from child’s play

I remember very little about my past schooling and I am not sure if it is because I have this belief that we should spend little time reminiscing on the past and looking towards the future or is it that my classroom experiences were all “traditional” and are not stored in my active memory. The latter would seem applicable as I really do remember more key events from my “play times” but very few from the formal school settings. Lev S. Vygotsky states: “In play a child is always above his average age, above his daily behavior; in play it is as though he were a head taller than himself. As in the focus of a magnifying glass, play contains all developmental tendencies in a condensed form; in play it is as though the child were trying to jump above the level of his normal behavior” (1967, 16). The interpretation of the above quote can and has taken many forms but I do not agree that children learn more from play and interactions with their peers than in a formal environment. My ...
