Written by educational researchers and professionals working with children and adolescents in and out of school, this book shows how self-regulation involves more than an isolated individual's ability to control their thoughts and feelings, particularly in a learning environment. By using Vygotsky's cultural-historical psychological theory, the authors provide a unique set of four analytical lenses for a better understanding of how self-regulation, co-regulation, and other-regulation function as a system of regulatory processes. These lenses move beyond a focus on solitary individuals, who self-regulate behavior, to centre on individuals as relational, agential, and contextually situated. As agents, teachers and their students build their learning contexts and are influenced by these self-engineered contexts. This is a dynamic perspective of a social context and underlies the view that regulatory processes are an integral part of a functional system for learning.

Reviews for Sociocultural Psychology and Regulatory Processes in Learning Activity: Contributions of Cultural-Historical Psychological Theory

'This book provides a carefully crafted blend of theory and practical ideas that make it possible for teachers to treat self-regulation as part of a constantly evolving classroom dynamic. The authors' use of concrete cases to illustrate theoretical ideas succeeds in helping teachers to arrange lessons that create active learners.' Michael Cole, Emeritus Distinguished Professor, University of California, San Diego
