I graduated from Moscow City University of Psychology and Education In 2008. My faculty is “Psychology of education”, the chair of developmental psychology.
I got acquainted with the ideas of cultural-historical psychology at the courses of lectures and seminars at the university. I was interested in the system of developmental education of Elkonin and Davydov, because for me it is important to use the concepts and the ideas of cultural-historical theory in practice (in the work with children and adolescents in education, not only in school but also in other social practices). Also I have experience with children with special needs. In this work I am often based on the ideas of the zone of proximal development, collaboration, etc.
Now I am a researcher at the laboratory of Theoretical and Experimental problems of Culture-Historical Psychology at the MSUPE. I took part in compiling the Culture-Historical dictionary. My colleagues and I organize educational courses for PhD students which have the general topic: “Theoretical and practical problems in cultural-historical psychology of today”.
I would like to take part at the Summer School, because for me it will be a great possibility to learn something new and improve my experience in the Cultural-Historical and Activity Theory. Also I would like to meet participants of Summer School from all over the world, which are also interested in my scientific area. I want to share my thoughts with the other people and get some experience participating in this School.
