Abstract

Born in the 19th century at a time when psychology was developing and making new discoveries at a fast pace and pedagogy was still in its infancy, the young psychologist with no formal training Lev Vygotsky made history with his innovative sociocultural theories. These are still valid and in use today. This article tries to offer a background of the vygotskian theoretical approach and highlight its connection to teaching.
