[Xmca-l] Re: Maths and science in Russia

Thanks Huw.
Yes, I know in Davydov it is called learning activity but my question was
aimed at the curriculum situation in Russia, current math curriculum
applied in Russia's primary schools?
What is this curriculum? Is it the one proposed by Davydov or bearing
another name?
And to put it in terms of Vygotsky, is the curriculum currently applied,
and which seems to be quite successful, has anything to do with Vygotskian
theory in Russia and in other countries where maths seems to be a
successful discipline in primary years.

Best,
Ulvi
