Описание: ReadingLive: Moscow CHAT Reading Club is a forum for psychologists, educators, researchers, students and all those interested in Cultural-Historical Psychology and Activity Approach.
Note: Cultural-Historical Psychology and Activity Theory (CHAT)
Meeting 4. March, 2 (2021) Topic: Scaffolding as an embodied process within student-teacher functional system

Experts to speak:
👩‍💼 Anna Shvarts, Researcher at Freudenthal Institute for Science and Mathematics Education, Utrecht University, the Netherlands
👨‍💼 Michael Cole, Emeritus distinguished Professor at the University of California, San Diego

In this presentation, the invited expert discussed a paper «The early history of the scaffolding metaphor: Bernstein, Luria, Vygotsky, and before» (by Anna Shvarts and Arthur Bakker) and expanded it further, focusing on empirical and historical data. The paper uncovers the origins of the scaffolding metaphor and its connections with Nikolai Bernstein’s prominent work on the physiology of activity. Authors argue that the scaffolding process between a student and a teacher is an inter-personal level of a universal process of the embodied functional systems’ development. Anna Shvarts discussed metaphors of scaffolding a bridge and “vrashivanie” as seaming, thus providing alternatives to scaffolding a building and interiorization as “in-growing”. The invited expert also expanded on the concept of micro-zone of proximal development as an actual-genetic mechanism of effective scaffolding, that was illustrated by empirical data (micro-analysis of a student and teacher’s eye-movements involved in scaffolding while solving a maths task).
