DUARTE, Newton. Vigotski's school of thought and education: some hypothesis to a pedagogical reading of the Historical-Cultural Psychology. Psicol. USP [online]. 1996, vol.7, n.1-2, pp.17-50. ISSN 1678-5177.
This paper presents five hypotheses to a pedagogical reading of the Historical - Cultural Psychology (Vigotski's school): 1) to understand Vigostki and his school of thought it is essencial to study the philosophical Marxist foundations of this psychological school; 2) Vigotski's works have to be studied as part of a whole constituted of the works produced by the Historical-Cultural Psychology; 3) Vigotski's school is neither interactionist nor constructivist; 4) it is necessary to have a conscious relationship of the pedagogical ideas which have been used as means to reading of the School of Vigotski's works that Brazilian educators have made; 5) a "escolanovista" pedagogical reading of the School of Vigotski's works is opposite to the pedagogical principles existing in this psychological school.
