The writings of L.S. Vygotsky continue to be a source of new ideas (inspiration) for people from many different disciplines, nearly ninety years after his death. The practical applications for education are myriad including preschool programs such as Tools of the Mind, Playworlds, and The Golden Key. Vygotskian concepts, such as the zone of proximal development, have also been applied throughout numerous curriculum programs, facilitating learning across the life-span and across disciplines. Yet, one very important aspect of his work remains relatively unknown, the development of creative imagination as a higher psychological function and its coordination with other higher psychological functions in psychological systems. These five Coffee Hours consist of series of ZOOM sessions with a presentation by a guest speaker followed by participant discussion.
This seminar series developed from five Coffee Hours based on Vygotsky's 1930 publication “Imagination and Creativity in Childhood". They were hosted by Professor
Michael Cole. You can follow current
