SOLOVIEVA, Yulia; QUINTANAR ROJAS, Luis; BALTAZAR RAMOS, Ana María  and  ESCOTTO CORDOVA, Eduardo Alejandro. Vigotsky’s cultural-historical position is not constructivist. Cienc. ergo-sum [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.2, e158.  Epub Oct 20, 2023. ISSN 2395-8782.  https://doi.org/10.30878/ces.v29n2a3.

From a theoretical and methodological perspective, we provide analyses of cultural-historical psychology to identify its differences with constructivism. As well as the origin of psychological development and the usage of “cultural” and “social” terms. The article discusses about the method used in cultural historical psychological approach and its implications for the organization of the teaching-learning process. The authors conclude on the need to differentiate between Vigotsky’s approach and postmodern constructivism according to conceptual, methodological, and epistemological basis.

Keywords : historical-cultural psychology; psychological theories; constructivism; nature of development; methods of analysis in psychology.
