“…Here a human mind is seen as a "flexible, dynamic system", not as a "static structure" (Van Der Veer, 2007) and as such is in an ongoing process of becoming (Daniels, 2007;Daniels, Cole, & Wertsch, 2007;Swain, Kinnear, & Steinman, 2011). This approach to cognition refers to the 'individual as a whole' and as such equally affects individual function as well as personality formation (Kozulin, 1990;Newman & Holzman, 1993;Robbins, 2007;Tappan, 1997;Tappan, 1998). Hence, a child's development for Vygotsky is perceived from a specific theory of psychological development (Lantolf & Beckett, 2009).…”

“…It was conceivably for the same reason that he (Vasileva & Balyasnikova, 2019) favored the terms 'cultural psychology' or 'cultural-historical psychology' (Lantolf & Beckett, 2009). Although it was in fact Wertsch (1985) (Robbins, 2007) which alongside Vygotsky's shifting views over the course of time, possibly contributed to the varied Vygotskian and post-Vygotskian interpretations in the SCT field itself (Ohta, 2016). Yet, despite the arguable fertility of "Vygotsky's philosophy" (Liu & Matthews, 2012) it tends to be predominantly identified with, for instance, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) (Barrs, 2017;Chaiklin, 2003;Veresov, 2004) the impact of social interactions on the development of cognition (Lantolf, 2003; Van Compernolle.. 2015) the concept of mediation (Appel & Lantolf, 1994;Kozulin, 2003;Lantof & Thorne, 2006;Lantolf & Beckett, 2009;Lantolf, Thorne, & Poehner, 2015;Wertsch, 2007) and ultimately dynamic assessment (Lantolf & Poehner, 2010).…”

Dialectical Unity: Interactive Interweaving of Conflicting Variables within Second Language Developmental Processes

Amongst varieties of theories in the field of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) there is a dearth of research on the interrelationship and coexistence of different ratios and variables among linguistic, cognitive, social or emotional forces in second language (L2) developmental processes. To bridge this gap, this paper adapts a Vygotskian interpretation of dialectics to demonstrate a dialectical unity among these conflicting forces. Thus, departing from any political connotations that dialectics are usually associated with or disputes over Vygotsky's tendency to disparity and contradictions, the present paper mainly aims to throw light on the possibility of viewing L2 developmental processes through the prism of this alternative dialectical perspective. To that end, the paper does not seek to equate Vygotsky, dialectics and SLA but rather to pose new questions from a dialectical perspective with the aim of stimulating further research on this matter. The study adopts a traditional literature review approach by selecting a few empirical and theoretical studies that seem to bear on the dialectical thought process without necessarily explicitly referring to it. The analysis suggests that such variables as cognition, affect and sociocultural factors may indeed co-exist to a greater or lesser extent in an ongoing dialectical development. Contribution/ Originality: The paper is the first study to investigate the concept of dialectical unity as applied to second language developmental processes. It proposes that the different degrees of ratios of these variables to each other and their interactive and interwoven reactions have the potential to influence SLA in diverse ways.

“…It is only one example of the serious differences between Vygotsky's theory and its reception and transformation by North Atlantic scholars. Robbins [50] argues that sociocultural theory cannot deal with history as change and sometimes "turns into a model of postmodern bricolage". For Vygotsky 'history' and 'historical' were very important as it refers to the onto-genesis and phylogenesis of the human mind.…”

This paper is an attempt to analyze various types of the reception of Vygotsky's theory in the international academic communities. The paper develops a critical analysis of three widespread theoretical frameworks of interpretation of Vygotsky's theory: cognitivism, culturalism, cultural historical activity theory. It is argues that fragmented readings of particular ideas of Vygotsky, without enough understanding of the theoretical programme in which these ideas have been included dominates in North-Atlantic research. The paper proposes the reconstruction of the theoretical programme of cultural historical psychology in the social and scientific context of its formation.

“…The role of the family can develop the perception of family support substance users. Perception is the process that individuals use to manage and interpret their sensory impressions in giving meaning to the environment (Robbins, 2007). The user's perception of the family can be a source of social support for other family members in solving health problems, which is categorized into three aspects: cognition, emotion, and conation (Walgito, 2010).…”

<span>People perception of Substance Abuse Disorders (GPZ) who are undergoing rehabilitation program on family support has a strong role recovery and relapse prevention. Measuring perception of family support is useful for family counseling development. The goal of research to find aspects of perception and a form family support from people with GPZ to recover from drug addiction on family support perception scale instruments. The research uses mixed methods approach with sequential transformative. Research instrument form documentation study in the form of text analysis, interview, and survey on individual GPZ/ N = 217. The research analysis with qualitative descriptive analysis of journal and book study, focus group discussion to the determination of statement points, and quantitative descriptive analysis from different test result to know validity and reliability of the instrument. The findings reveal the concept and operationalization of family support perception through two perception aspects, ie cognition, and affection. Forms of family support include (1) emotional support, (2) award support, (3) information support, and (4) concrete support. The family support perception scale has 46 valid statements with the value coefficient of Corrected Item-Total Correlation ≥ 0.148. The reliability coefficient of the family supported perception scale is 0.861 with the high-reliability category. The family support perception scale can be used to identify the level of family support on people with GPZ from drug addiction.</span>

Redefining L. S. Vygotsky's non-classical psychology

Abstract: For many years various labels have been used when referring to the theories of L. S. Vygotsky, all of which have resulted in a most interesting, yet confusing, phenomenon. Why isn't there one label for Vygotsky's psychology?
