Культурно-историческая психология: истоки, история и современность
The article traces the origins and main stages in the development of L.S. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory (CHT). It is argued that CHT can be regarded as a metatheory that provides the foundations for constructing specific psychological theories. On the one hand, this perspective relieves such theories from the strict requirement of direct empirical verification; on the other hand, it opens up the possibility of designing a broad range of research directions. The intersections of CHT and activity theory are shown to have been manifested in studies of different stages of child development as well as in the elaboration of the Elkonin–Davydov system of developmental education. The article is based on an analysis of a wide range of sources.
