Overview

Rousing Minds to Life is the education textbook for the '90s: A powerful synthesis of the theoretical advances in Vygotskian theory as applied to every aspect of teaching, learning, and schooling. Drawing on studies from preschool and elementary school through the university seminar, and on their own successful experience with thousands of students over two decades, this text integrates all recent work in the Vygotskian tradition with basic concepts in American and British behaviorism, cognitive science, anthropology, and sociolinguistics. Distinguished by a literate style and an extraordinarily rich content, it is appropriate for courses in educational psychology, curriculum and instruction, educational foundations, educational administration, special education, multicultural education, and any course that treats learning and cognitive development in social context.

Editorial Reviews

"...perhaps the most important publication on teaching and teacher education to come out in the past five years...it forces the field to conceive of teaching in a new way." --Richard Shavelson, Past President of the American Education Research Association
"Lawrence Kohlberg wrote that American education has failed to take developmental psychology seriously. Tharp and Gallimore have taken it seriously and have demonstrated in this book not only that teaching must take account of the developmental status of the pupil but also that proper teaching, particularly the teaching of literacy, is necessary for the stimulation of the cognitive development of the pupil."
