[Xmca-l] "this remarkable list" (Gabosch, 2002)

[Anthony Barra]

Good afternoon,

In a search for an article cited in S. Chaiklin's great "The zone of
proximal development in Vygotsky’s analysis of learning and instruction"
(2003), I stumbled upon a post that I believe many here will enjoy
re-reading:

Thank you,

Anthony

P.S.  Here is the article I was searching for (in case anyone can help):

   - Vygotsky, L. S. (1935a). Dinamika umstvennogo razvitiza shkol’nika v
   svjazi s obucheniem. In Umstvennoie razvitie detei v protsesse obuchenia
   (pp. 33-52). Moscow/Leningrad: Gosudarstvennoie Uchebno-pedagogicheskoie
   Izdatel’stvo.

And the reference, in context:

> "In one article, which as far as I know is neither translated nor readily
> available, Vygotsky (1935a) describes a set of experiments in which
> children are tested and identified to have a high or low IQ as well as a
> large or small zone (as determined by the kind of procedure described in
> the previous paragraph). Subsequent school success is determined, and it
> appears that the size of the zone of proximal development was more
> predictive than IQ. That is, children with a larger zone of proximal
> development (i.e., more maturing functions are currently available) had
> comparable intellectual development, regardless of IQ. Similarly, children
> with a smaller zone of proximal development had a comparable intellectual
> development, regardless of the initially measured IQ. In other words, the
> zone of proximal development gave a better indication for
> predicting/understanding future intellectual development than a measure of
> independent performance, where the explanation is that the greater number
> of maturing functions gives a child better opportunities to benefit from
> school instruction. A detailed summary of this article is found in van der
> Veer and Valsiner (1991, pp. 336-341)." (Chaiklin, 2003, p. 12-13).
