Vygotsky’s name has never been so evoked as it is at the present time, yet the educational scientific community faces an awkward situation. On the one hand, his works have been used as the basis for certain socioconstructivist school reforms that he would surely have completely disapproved of (Vygotsky, 1934/1987, p. 211). On the other hand, the re...
L'état des connaissances disponibles sur le stress au travail est immense et repose principalement sur des approches de nature quantitative. Malgré leur force indéniable, les méthodes traditionnelles utilisées se sont toutefois révélées souvent insuffisantes pour rendre pleinement compte de la complexité du stress dans le cadre du travail. Ce const...
The present article examines the social and cultural dimension of activity, which we propose to call configuration, in reference to Elias’ works.
