Arievitch, I.M., & Haenen, J.P.P. (2005). Connecting Sociocultural Theory and Educational Practice: Galperin's Approach. Educational Psychologist, 40(3), 155-165. https://doi.org/10.1207/s15326985ep4003_2

q1 · i? · theoretical · r3

Theoretical methodological argument in the article's analysis of Galperin's critique of Piaget's horizontal cross-sections and Vygotsky's double stimulation, both of which Galperin held limited research to ascertaining achieved levels of development. The article reports Galperin's conclusion that study required "active construction of actions in the external form."

"Galperin came to the conclusion that to conduct an objective psychological study it was necessary to abandon mere observation in favor of active construction of actions in the external form and guided transformation of those actions into mental processes."
