Title: The modernity of the Vygotskian studies and their contribution to educational research

Abstract: The studies that gather the Vygotskian legacy share an interventionist agenda that concentrates on human activities undergoing historical change. Although there is no monolithic research stream that fully gathers Vygotsky's thinking, this paper describes the third generation of activity theory, the approach that most adequately collects his legacy. This field spans from the zone of proximal development to double stimulation, and from the mediated action to the selection of an appropriate level of analysis allowing researchers to study units instead of elements. The contribution of the Vygotskian legacy to the modern education research consists of: a) a new learning theory that explains innovation and social change – this area is expansive learning; b) a new unit of analysis to study the organizations and their external and internal interconnections – the network of activity systems; c) a new interventionist methodology that develops a collective transformative agency – the formative interventions. This paper shows how these most promising research streams have possible applications in the Italian context, for the development of a collective agency and competence as boundary crossing. The paper ends by discussing how activity theory is moving to the fourth generation to tackle the new educational challenges.

Title: L'attualità degli studi di matrice vygotskijana e il loro contributo alla ricerca educativa

Abstract: Gli studi che attingono all'eredità vygotskijana condividono un'agenda interventista che si concentra sulle attività umane investite da cambiamenti storici. Benché non esista un filone di ricerche monolitico che raccolga in toto l'eredità di Vygotskij, questo contributo illustra la terza generazione della teoria dell'attività, l'approccio che forse raccoglie maggiormente il suo pensiero, dai concetti della zona di sviluppo prossimale alla doppia stimolazione, e dall'azione mediata alla scelta di un livello d'analisi che permetta di indagare le unità anziché gli elementi. Il contributo dell'eredità vygotskijana alla ricerca educativa presente risiede essenzialmente in: a) una nuova teoria dell'apprendimento che spiega l'innovazione e il cambiamento sociale – l'apprendimento espansivo; b) una nuova unità di analisi per studiare le organizzazioni e le loro interconnessioni interne ed esterne – i sistemi di attività; e c) una nuova metodologia interventista che promuova l'agentività collettiva trasformativa – gli interventi formativi. Il contributo illustra le direzioni di ricerca più promettenti con relative applicazioni nel contesto italiano, in particolare lo sviluppo dell'agentività collettiva e la competenza come movimento orizzontale tra confini, e termina discutendo come la teoria dell'attività si stia evolvendo verso la quarta generazione di studi per poter rispondere alle nuove sfide educative.

Title: La topique des études de matrice Vygotskyana et leur contribution à la recherche éducative

Abstract: Les études qui s'appuient sur l'héritage Vygotskyana partagent un programme interventionniste qui se concentre sur les activités humaines investies par des changements historiques.Bien qu'il existe une veine de recherche monolithique qui recueille totalement l'héritage de Vygotsky, cette contribution illustre la troisième génération de la théorie de l'activité, l'approche qui recueille peut-être plus ses pensées, à partir des concepts de la zone de développement proximale à la double stimulation, et de l'action médiée au choix d'un niveau d'analyse qui permet d'étudier les unités plutôt que les éléments.La contribution de l'héritage Vygotskyana à la recherche éducative présente essentiellement dans: a) une nouvelle théorie d'apprentissage qui explique l'innovation et le changement social - un apprentissage expansif;b) Une nouvelle unité d'analyse pour étudier les organisations et leurs interconnexions internes et externes - les activités d'activité;et c) une nouvelle méthodologie interventionniste favorisant l'agent collectif transformateur - les interventions de formation.La contribution illustre les orientations les plus prometteuses de la recherche avec des applications connexes dans le contexte italien, en particulier le développement de l'agent collectif et de la compétence en tant que mouvement horizontal entre les frontières, et finit de discuter de la façon dont la théorie de l'activité évolue vers la quatrième génération d'études afin de répondre à de nouveaux défis éducatifs.

Title: La actualidad de los estudios de matriz de Vygotskyana y su contribución a la investigación educativa

Abstract: Los estudios que se basan en la herencia vygotskyana comparten una agenda intervencionista que se centra en las actividades humanas invertidas con cambios históricos.Aunque existe una vena de investigación monolítica que recopila totalmente la herencia de Vygotsky, esta contribución ilustra la tercera generación de la teoría de la actividad, el enfoque que quizás recopila más sus pensamientos, desde los conceptos del área de desarrollo proximal hasta la doble estimulación, y desde la acción mediada hasta la elección de un nivel de análisis que permite invertir las unidades en lugar de los elementos.La contribución de la herencia vygotskyana a la investigación educativa presente reside esencialmente en: a) una nueva teoría de aprendizaje que explica la innovación y el cambio social - aprendizaje expansivo;b) una nueva unidad de análisis para estudiar organizaciones y sus interconexiones internas y externas: las actividades de la actividad;y c) una nueva metodología intervencionista que promueve el agente colectivo transformador: las intervenciones de entrenamiento.La contribución ilustra las direcciones de investigación más prometedoras con aplicaciones relacionadas en el contexto italiano, en particular el desarrollo del agente colectivo y la competencia como un movimiento horizontal entre las fronteras, y termina discutiendo cómo la teoría de la actividad está evolucionando hacia la cuarta generación de estudios para responder a los nuevos desafíos educativos.
