Mike, I like Margie's point, but I wonder if the "upward" transformation
isn't implied in the notion of "ascending to the concrete" --?

David-- In your reply to Tina, I was wondering what the enculturation/
deliberate instruction contrast has in common, or not, with the Vygotskian
notion of everyday and scientific concepts. My colleague, Margie Gallego,
has been wondering in what ways everyday concepts might promote
transformations
in scientific concepts -- her interpretation being that Vygotsky treats
scientific concepts as transformers of everyday, but perhaps not the other
way around.
