[Xmca-l] Re: School versus work: Personality Changes

[Andy Blunden]

Vygotsky said that "The tasks that are posed for the 
maturing adolescent by the social environment - tasks that 
are associated with his entry into the cultural, 
professional, and social life of the adult world - are an 
essential functional factor in the formation of concepts," 
and A N Leontyev, in his well-known work "Activity, 
Consciousness and Personality" clearly saw personality as 
developing throughout the subject's life, in institutions. 
Pity there are not more CHAT scholars working in that area.

No accident that 'conception' means both the creation of a 
person and the forms of activity a person engages in.
