Christodoulakis, Nikolaos; Carulla, Clara Vidal; Adbo, Karina – Education Sciences, 2021
Perezhivanie is a concept that was originally defined by Vygotsky, but it did not become a part of educational theory until recently. Today the concept has been revived, and it is now used as a way to include emotional aspects into education and educational research. The concept also provides a rationale for describing and forming personalised…
