Vygotsky Circle (organization)

Vygotsky's Circle was a collaborative group of scholars centered around Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky in the 1920s-1930s. They engaged in intellectual discussion and research on psychology, philosophy, and education, emphasizing the social context of learning. The group valued dialogue and collective inquiry, contributing to ideas like the "Zone of Proximal Development," which highlights how social interaction facilitates cognitive growth. Their work helped shape modern understanding of how culture and social environment influence development and learning, laying foundational concepts for developmental psychology and educational theory.
