This four levels of analysis is also reinforced by Valsiner's discussion of
cultural psychology and not merely for theoretical discussion but for
assessing the development of children's actions in goal directed activities.
Sawyer's article assessing sociocultural literature has provided a robust
vehicle for synthesizing what has been discussed in the field to this point.
Another note to make regarding the Sawyer sociocultural analysis article is
how similar Sawyer's notion of dual analysis is to LSV's 'functional method
of double stimulation' experimental methodology. The strength of this
notion of dual analysis is that during the time that the instructor is
assessing the student's abilities there is feedback to promote development.
I would appreciate more discussion of this split in sociocultural study. Is
it a matter of being a purist as far as social/individual holism to sacrifice
specific studies?
Left wondering more then before I read sawyer's article,
eric
