维果斯基社会文化理论混沌学思想阐释

The Interpretation of Vygotsky's Socio-cultural Theory in Perspective of Chaos Theory

在维果斯基创立的文化—历史发展学说的基础上发展起来的社会文化理论是研究人类高级心理机能发展的理论,强调在不脱离社会文化环境的基础上研究人类心理机能的发展。从混沌学视角来解读社会文化理论,可以发现:人类心理机能发展的过程是一个开放的动态系统;思维与语言的发展是相互依赖、相互制约的动态的非线性关系;社会互动和教学支架是影响最近发展区的奇异吸引子;语言工具在个体认知发展系统中具有蝴蝶效应。

The Socio-cultural Theory,which developed from the Cultural-historical Activity Theory created by Vygotsky,is about the development of people's high psychological functions.This theory emphasizes that the development of people's cognitive and psychological functions should be studied under the socio-cultural surroundings.From the perspective of Chaos Theory,it can be found that in the Socio-cultural Theory there exist some chaotic properties:the development of people's psychological functions is an opening and dynamic system;the development of thought and language shows mutual dependent and restrictive nonlinearity;social interactions and teaching scaffoldings are the strange attractors which can affect the zone of proximal development;language has butterfly effects on people's cognitive developments.
