development of the child's higher mental processes depends on the
presence ofmediating agentsin the child's interaction with the
environment.Vygotsky himself primarily emphasisedsymbolic
tools-mediatorsappropriated by the children in the context of
particular sociocultural activities, the most important of which he
considered to be formal education.Russian students of Vygotsky
researched two additionaltypes of mediationmediation through
another human beingandmediation in the form of an organised
learning activity .Thus the acquisition model became transformed
into a mediation model.Some mediational concepts such
asscaffolding(see Wood, 1999) orapprenticeship(Rogoff, 1990)
appeared as a direct assimilation of Vygotskian ideas; others such
as Feuerstein's (1990)mediated learning experiencehave been
developed independently and only later acquired new meaning in the
context of sociocultural theory. ...from Kozulin, A
