contents Vygotsky’s theory of method and philosophy of practice: implications for trans/formative methodology Anna Stetsenko Educación Vygotsky Ideological Social justice political work Formative method Vygotsky’s project needs to be grasped as a yet unnamed type of an approach which, in continuing the revolutionary spirit of Marxism, moved beyond the old divide between theory and practice and instead, embodied their unity in a peculiar blend with distinct philosophical, theoretical and ethical/ideological underpinnings. The goal of creating new psychology for a society that itself needed to be created on principles of social justice and equality guided this approach and turned it into a critical-practical project of social transformation and change. The main argument advanced in this paper is that at the core of Vygotsky’s method is the novel transformative onto-epistemology, coupled with the socio-political ethos of equality and justice, which challenge ideology of adaptation and control. I discuss this set of issues in light of a transformative activist stance that puts premium on researchers’ commitments and value orientations. 2016 artículo científico 0101-465X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=84850103005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=848 Educação application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul Educação (Brasil) Num.Esp Vol.39
