Potencjalność w rozwoju: próba syntezy na podstawie teorii L.S. Wygotskiego i J. Piageta

Abstract

Contemporary trends of research are concentrating on one of aspects of problems of potentiality - on zone of proximal development. Appearing vision of potentiality in development can be considered in referring to dimensions of time (problems connected with dynamic of human development: zone of proximal development, sensitive periods, maturation, learning; Rzechowska 19941 and space (problems of development in widely understood context). The author at starting points for considerations at actualizing of potential human abilities J. Piaget and L.S. Vygotsky's theories. Taking trial of dynamic analysis of development in potentiality categories she presents the subject (1) in aspect within potentiality - potentiality sticking into the subject and realizing as result of own activity; (2) in aspect coming into social interactions (processes of mediation and transformation); (3) in aspect of outward potentiality - potentiality connected with subject's activity in different social contexts. Offering expression represents rather a specification of question less or more connected with problems of potentiality in development leaving open questions about specific and dynamic relation between potentiality within and outward of subject.
