Features: This book primarily introduces Vygotsky's contributions to psychological science, an overview of Vygotsky's psychological theories, research that values Vygotsky's psychological heritage, Vygotsky's contributions to educational psychology, the "Vygotsky fever" and its implications for Chinese educational reform, and more. The book holds high academic value. Its main task is practical in nature. Given new materials in psychological science, it aims to help schools and general teachers establish a scientific perspective on the educational process. Psychology is currently undergoing a crisis, with some of its basic and main principles being re-examined, leading to considerable confusion in our science and school thinking. Faith in past systems has wavered, and new systems have not yet been established, making it hesitant to carve out a corresponding applied science. The crisis in psychology inevitably triggers a crisis in educational psychology, which must be rebuilt from scratch. However, in this regard, the new psychology is somewhat luckier than its predecessors. This means that when it attempts to apply its own materials to education, it does not need to limit itself to conclusions drawn from its own principles.
