Cultural Psychology Goes to School explores the vital connections between human development, culture, and education, showing how Cultural Psychology can offer fresh and valuable insights into school life. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars in the field, this book examines schools as privileged spaces for development, where cultural and pedagogical practices shape how individuals learn, grow, and come to understand themselves in relation to others.
Adopting an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, this book highlights the importance of affective-semiotic and dialogical perspectives for investigating school contexts. It considers how culture informs processes of internalization and externalization, the construction of knowledge, and the development of the self, with particular attention to ontogenesis and the challenges posed by the contemporary world.
Both theoretically rich and clearly written, Cultural Psychology Goes to School invites researchers, educators, and students to rethink schools as vital sites of human development.
