Dewey and Vygotsky Viewed through the Rearview Mirror--and Dimly at That.
Prawat, Richard S.
Educational Researcher, v31 n5 p16-20 Jun-Jul 2002
Responds to an article that emphasized profound differences separating Dewey and Vygotsky, arguing that the intellectual agendas the two pursued grew and changed in similar ways in the course of each individual's work. Refutes stereotypic ideas about Dewey and Vygotsky (e.g., Dewey put process ahead of product in education, and Vygotsky downplayed the role of student diversity in learning). (SM)
