RE: [xmca] zpd additional comment
Dear Ulvi and All (interested in ZPD),
While I agree that Chaiklin is "dead on in his analysis on [Vygotsky's]
ZPD," his analysis, in my humble opinion, is NOT "ALIVE" either. There is a
clear discrepancy in Chaiklin's (2003) interpretation of the ZPD. While he
asserts that "the main features of the analysis of zone of proximal
development [concern the] whole child" (p. 50), his account of the whole
child does not include explicit consideration of emotion. Yet, for Vygotsky,
affect is the beginning and the end of the child's entire psychological
development. Quoting Pistrak (reference unknown), Vygotsky (2004) stated
that "The convictions that we may inculcate in school through knowledge,
only grow roots in the child's psyche when these convictions are reinforced
emotionally" (p. 55). Surely, when dealing with the development of the
whole child, it is of paramount importance (according to Vygotsky) not to
separate intellectual from emotional features of the child's development.
