The most crucial application of Vygotsky's theory to education is in his concept of ZPD, "The zone of proximal development." Vygotsky (1962) introduced the concept of ZPD as the distance between the most challenging task a child can do alone and the most challenging task the child can do with help.

In the next section, a brief overview of previous literature utilising VST to examine emotion is discussed. Teacher cognition and language education: Research and practice. First, the author read through the texts to have an overall impression and interpretation where relevant segments of information were coded into preliminary codes. This paper contributes to the literature by offering a theoretical discussion of Vygotsky's perspective on emotion and its relation to cognition . Vygotsky, L. S. (1967/2016). This is demonstrated with increasing research drawing on VST, especially its concept of perezhivanie (commonly translated as emotional experiences), to account for the role of affect in learning, teaching and professional development (e.g. In line with Veresov (2019) and Van der Veer and Yasnitsky (2011), this paper indicates that scholars can generate themes that are more accurately representative of Vygotskys ideologies by performing a close reading and content analysis of Vygotskys selected texts on a given topic. Knowledge Cultures, 10(1), 84103. Vygotsky concurs with Lewin that [t]he emotional reaction is the unique result of a particular structure of mental processes (Vygotsky, 1987, p. 336).

If a theory or a tenet of it is supported by Vygotsky, it is then considered part of his view. Emotions can be qualitatively differential in nature. Van der Veer and Yasnitsky (2011) further contend [i]t is only on the basis of an accurate corpus of all of his publications that we can arrive at an adequate assessment and subsequent elaboration or criticism of Vygotskys work (p. 475). Magiolino (2010) also explores Vygotskys elaborations on emotions and argues that Vygotsky discusses the formation and development of emotions as being enabled via semiotic processes in the individual and social history. External or social speech occurs from birth until the age of three. https://doi.org/10.1177/183693911303800316, Fleer, M., & Veresov, N. (2018). when anger is admonished). (2016). An individual's full cognitive development requires social interaction. The results confirmed that the selected texts above indeed contained a higher coverage of the term emotion than other chapters in the six volumes. Qualitative research : A guide to design and implementation (Vol. Vygotsky (1987) believes this differentiation (between emotions and feelings) has tremendous significance because the old psychology mechanically confused these aspects of emotions and feelings, ascribing both to processes that do not exist (p. 335).

Theoretical discussions of Vygotskys works are, however, insufficient as a replacement for real empirical research employing his genetic-experimental methodology (Fleer & Veresov, 2018; Veresov, 2010) to advance his theory given the structural-systemic epistemology of VST (Cong-Lem, 2022b; Toomela, 2015). While Vygotsky did not provide his definition of emotion, he critiques the view of emotions merely as physiological states.

It is proposed that culture-specific tools play an integral role in the way . As societies become more aware of the importance of early socio-emotional skills for children's later success, teachers report that they are ill-equipped to support and enhance these skills within their 'traditional' teacher role. when anger is admonished). Yang, H., & Markauskaite, L. (2021). Yet, within VST, emotion has neither been systemically theorised nor investigated. 7). One of the reasons is that cognition is commonly stereotyped as being associated with rationality and emotion with irrationality or feminist philosophy (Chen, 2021; Fried et al., 2015). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lindif.2013.08.002. ), International handbook of early childhood education (pp. Moreover, accounting for emotions from an evolutionary perspective i.e. author = "Yeshe Colliver and Nikolay Veraksa". from Vygotsky ' s writing on child cognitive and emotional development as it occurs in child-initiated play (Colliver & Veraksa, 2019 ; Vygotsky, 1966/2016 , 1967 , 1982 , 1991 , 1996 , 1998 . In order to provide a more systemic understanding of emotion from the VST perspective, the themes are further organised into three overarching categories, namely the bases of emotions, their conceptualisation and characteristics and the impact of emotions on psychological and personality development. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-10-4534-9_3, Veresov, N.

Educational and Developmental Psychologist, 38(2), 238248. According to VST perspective, emotional shifts may indicate cognitive changes (Vygotsky, 1987) and psychological development is made of perezhivanija (Vygotsky, 1994). Indeed, in the seminal paper on mindfulness by Shapiro et al. The essence of the relationship between cognition and emotion is further discussed in light of the comparison between realistic and autistic thinking: There is a certain synthesis of intellectual and emotional processes in both autistic and realistic thinking. Vygotsky additionally extrapolates this matter by revealing the psychological consequences when the normal structural relationship between cognition and emotion is altered, which leads to pathological cases. (2020). Following several main ways that his developmental theory described development through play, it proposes an extra social-individual dialectical relationship to explain . In realistic thinking, however, the emotional process plays a supporting and subordinate role rather than a leading role. In a sense, children and adults engage in different (age relevant) activities and environments and accordingly, emotions have differential meanings and roles for them. The development of the current paper is a response to a lack of a more comprehensive discussion of Vygotskys perspective on emotion. Learning, Culture and Social Interaction, 16, 7075.

He discusses: My own data convince me that the shift of pleasure from the result of the action to its anticipation is but a pale expression of the diverse range of potential shifts [emphasis added] in emotional life, shifts that constitute the actual content of the development of the childs emotional life (Vygotsky, 1987, p. 334).

The insights gained from this paper benefit scholars who are interested in understanding and researching emotions from a VST perspective as well as provide important implications for educational practices. While there has been a historical division between cognition and emotion, continued research has increasingly supported an intimate relationship between them (Pessoa, 2008). While discussing the impact of emotions, Vygotsky underscores the dominant role of cognition (i.e. https://doi.org/10.1080/10749039.2010.518300, Smagorinsky, P. (2018). Ngo Cong-Lem.

In the field of education, research on emotion has been limited compared to the area of cognition (Sutton & Wheatley, 2003), which is generally concerned with knowledge, beliefs and practices (Borg, 2003, 2015). Employing a content analysis approach, three of Vygotskys key texts on emotions were closely read and analysed with emerging themes grouped into a system of interrelated theoretical tenets.

The James-Lange theory advocates the idea that human emotions have biological origins in the affective and instinctive reactions of animals, and as such, emotions are regulated, weakened and suppressed by organic expressions and dynamics (Vygotsky, 1987, p. 326). Michell, M. (2016). https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1026131715856, Swain, M. (2013). He observes that most theories on emotion have been developed from the naturalistic inquiry, initiated by Charles Darwin where emotions are considered remnants of animal origins and the evolutionary process. TESOL Quarterly, 40(1), 235257. The current study was conducted to bridge this gap. First, children acquire most of their knowledge (the contents of thought) through culture. For Vygotsky, recognising that thinking is also influenced by emotion is essential but insufficient. journal = "Early Child Development and Care", Vygotskys contributions to understandings of emotional development through early childhood play, https://doi.org/10.1080/03004430.2021.1887166, early childhood education and care (ECEC).

The model supposes a special role that educators must assume to enhance emotional development through play: allowing children to understand and experience their perezhivanie at an individual level such that it is not relegated to only the social, as is the case in many cultures (e.g. Cultural-Historical Psychology, 6(4), 8390. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lcsi.2017.10.009, Smagorinsky, P.
