Vygotsky theories & meaningful relationships

This Project contains two main topics: "The Vygotsky Theories" and "Meaningful Relationships". Both were selected to be taught to teachers, principals, managing officials and supervisors in Mexico's context, all of which will be done in workshops under my supervision and care. The first theme: "The Vygotsky's Theories" explains his Theories and Notions on "Early Childhood Education", "Social Development Theory"; "Learning and Development of Preschool Children" and "The Zone of Proximal Development". About Education for Children with Special Needs, an analysis is made about the great contributions Vygotsky made in this field as a support to "Remediation through Education"; "Psychological Tools and Mediated Learning" & "Theory of Disontogenesis". The importance of the selection of these topics is that the Preschool Educational Programs in Mexico, now in use have their sustentation in Vygotsky's Theories, but they are vaguely mentioned and they appear out of context, to explain them will lead to a thorough comprehension by understanding the reasons for every day's practice. The second theme: "Meaninghl Relationships", expose the need to establish interpersonal relations into the school's working atmosphere; to reach this goal the project is based in three theories: Arthur Combs ', who gives special consideration to The Teacher as a Human Being with a Professional Growth and formulates basic principles upon which Dispositions-Centered Teacher Education Programs may rest; William Glasser's, who introduces the concept of The Five Basic Needs and the Differences between Boss Management and Lead Management; and Carl Jung's who used his Psychological Type to describe and explain the patterns obsemable in normal behavior.
