Although Lev Vygotsky died at the young age of 37, he seemed to have accomplished a lot. ... Today, you can’t discuss the learning process without mentioning the name of Lev Vygotsky. ...
Lev was born in 1896 in Orscha, Belorussia in Tsarist Russia to a Jewish family. ... Because of this, Lev studied privately with a tutor for several years. ...
Originally, Lev applied to the Medical School of Moscow University. ... Vygotsky graduated from both in 1917 and returned home to Gomel. ... Lev became especially interested in psychology and the philosophy of history at this time. ... As the academic secretary of the Moscow Institute of Psychology, he invited Lev to join the research team. ...
During the next few years, Vygotsky came up with one of his most famous theories. ... Lev believed that language wasn’t just an expression of a child’s acquired knowledge, but that it was necessary in forming thoughts and personality features.
Lev also strongly believed that a child’s personal history and the society in which that were brought up played a big role in the way they would think individually. ...
