Re: [xmca] Types of Generalization in Instruction: Logical and Psychological Problems in the Structuring of School Curricula., V.V.Davydov 1.4Mb



Kudos again to Andy for the hard work of scanning and editing still another well-needed book in the CHAT literature. As for what I did, Andy gives me too much credit. He sent me the original text-scans and I highlighted some of the inevitable glitches and errors that jumped out at me as I eyeballed the text - hardly a real proofreading job. I am sure there are many pesky machine errors that I missed. Also, Andy's text-scanning was especially well done on this book, so the text-scanning glitches in general were more sparse than they sometimes can be.

Am I correct that this is the first of two books by Davydov available in English?

This one, Types of Generalization in Instruction: Logical and Psychological Problems in the Structuring of School Curricula, was originally published in Russian in 1972, and first published in English in 1990 - yes?

The other, Problems of Developmental Instruction, was originally published in Russian in 1986 and has just been translated into English by Peter Moxhay in 2009 - yes?

Attached is a complete copy of Davydov's book on teaching mathematics. It has all his thoughts on the formation of concepts, all the problems of units of analysis and so on. It's 225 pages and 1.34Mb.

I've spent my time scanning it, so I can't comment on the content, but it looks jiucy! I have to thank Steve Gabosch who has proofed the first 7 chapters for us. )Apologies Steve, I have not corrected the References, with all those Russian names!!) Wertsch mentioned a quote from this book which I was so anxious to see in context, it was worth the effort.

This text is provided for non-commercial private use. It would be great to have a discussion about it, once people have had a chance to discuss it. I've been dying to get my hands on something by Davydov and Mike kindly provided me with a copy of this book from his own bookshelf so that we can share it. It's actually a good translation I think.
