Transactional Psychology of Education

More about the book

Focusing on L.S. Vygotsky's later work, this book introduces a new theory placing affect and social relations at the forefront of psychology. It emphasizes that mental phenomena are events rather than static entities, presenting a transactional perspective. The author develops a transactional psychology of education, drawing from influential thinkers like G.H. Mead and J. Dewey. Theoretical concepts are illustrated through videotaped exchanges, providing tangible insights into psychological principles and their application in educational contexts.
