Drawing on in-depth analyses of Lev Vygotsky’s theories of early childhood, and investiging the ways in which his ideas are reflected in contemporary educational settings, this book brings into sharp relief the numerous opportunities for preschool learning and development afforded by Vygotskian approaches.

Discussion of recent developments in the understanding and implementation of Vygotsky’s ideas in Western and Russian contexts facilitates comparison, and provides readers with fresh impetus to integrate elements into their own practice. Chapters are clearly structured and address the mutlitude of aspects touched upon by Vygotsky, including cognitive development, communication and interaction, play, literacy, and the quality of preschool settings.

Providing a comprehensive exploration of current stances on Vygotsky's ideas in diverse cultural-historical contexts, Vygotsky in Preschool Education and Early Childhood Research will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, educators and politicians involved in early years education.
