The educational reform is Russia is in full swing, so the section of Psychology of
education and learning is the most widely presented in the current issue. The international
collective of authors Frédéric Yvon, Ludmila A. Chaiguerova and Denise
Shelley Newnham considers different interpretations of the works of Lev Vygotsky
— famous psychologist and methodologist. The authors suggest original ways
of incorporating Vygotsky’s ideas into the modern educational system. Dmitry A.
Podolskiy presents his study of value hierarchy among students and adolescence in
the article “Multimethod approach to measuring values in a school context: exploring
the association between Congruence — Discrepancy Index (CODI) and task
commitment”. In the article “The role of reflection and reflexivity in the development
of student’s abilities” Vladimir D. Shadrikov explores the role of reflection in
the educational process. The group of authors headed by Nikolay E. Veraksa state
that dialectical thinking is a specific line of cognitive development in children and
adults and proves this statement by the empirical data (“The structural dialectical
approach in psychology problematic and research results”).
