Dear COEHD Colleagues,
I am writing to inform you of the
LTED 7863 Vygotsky Course offered on Mondays on Zoom, Spring 2024. This course will be of interest to
Masters and Doctoral Students and with advisor approval, can be taken by motivated Undergraduates and Honors Program students.
The course addresses the life of the eminent Lev Vygotsky, in the social-context of Russia and Ukraine at the turn of the 20th century.
We will consider Vygotsky’s theories, research, and possible practices that draw from his views of language, culture, art, human development,
and critical thinking. I am seeking students across Colleges, Programs, and Disciplines to create a highly cross-disciplinary and interactive
classroom dialogue. Students in the sciences and Engineering may also benefit from the knowledge provided.
Faculty or Students should fee free to contact me, should there be questions.
The course is offered once per year. It will be a dynamite addition to UTSA student-formulated research and Degree plans.
All my best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving!
