✦ Synopsis

The objectives of this article are to: (a) synthesize the key aspects of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of learning; and (b) interpret classroom vignettes and child interviews from a first-grade science activity in light of Vygotsky's theory. The key aspects of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory explored in terms of the teaching-learning process are: the social interactional nature of learning; the role of psychological and technical tools, the role of social interactions in mediating children's thought; and the interplay between everyday and scientific concepts.
