Vygotsky as Precursor to Metacognitive Theory: II. Vygotsky as Metacognitivist.

Braten, Ivar

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v35 n4 p305-20 1991

It is demonstrated that the topics discussed in contemporary research in metacognition are integral parts of the theory of cognitive development of L. S. Vygotsky. Unique to Vygotsky's approach is a focus on the sign system of human language and the linguistic tools of thought and control. (SLD)
