This book provides readers with an overview of the implications
for research of the theoretical work which acknowledges a debt to
the writings of L.S. Vygotsky. A concise introduction to Vygotsky's
original thesis and discussions on his approach to research methods
is given; this is followed by an exploration of the research
practices which have arisen in fields developed on the basis of his
original thesis. These include: Socio-cultural studies with a focus
on mediated action; Distributed Cognition, Situated Cognition and
Activity Theory.
To aid understanding, chapters devoted to each area will provide
excellent accounts of specific studies which illustrate the
underlying methodological principles and the specific methods which
are being deployed. In each case assumptions and limitations are
discussed. The book concludes with some proposals for future
developments at both methodological and conceptual levels.
