"Vygotsky's focus on social transmission of knowledge meant that he place less
emphasis than other theorists (read, piaget, mc) on children's capacity to shape
their own development. Modern followers of Vygotsky grant the individual and
society more balanced roles (Rogoff, Wertsch and Tulviste).
Vygotsky, like Bakhtin, declared that "in the beginning is the act."
Is there a pattern here?
