In the xmca archive there is much discussion about the differences between
just these two modifiers. Never settled, perhaps never will. From a
linguist standpoint one is active and one is passive.
Helen; from my own experience when I wrote my master's thesis ( A
Vygotskian perspective on Special Education Transition Services) my
supervisor kept asking if I wouldn't be better off making the argument
from an Ericson point of view so I believe mainstream acadamia is still
confused about what cultural-historical theory is; however, I believe I am
safe in saying it is not social constructivism. Has your supervisor
specifically stated where they are finding the descrepancies in your
argument? In my thesis I wanted to use more Valsiner and Van der Veer
references but found they did not coexist very well with the Vygotsky,
Luria, Scribner, and Cole cross cultural studies I was referencing.
Maybe this helps, maybe this muddies the water?

Can I please ask a (probably extremely naive) question? What are the
differences between social constructivism (as referred to in this book
review) and cultural-historical theory? My supervisor keeps telling me I
am confusing my arguments by using references from both paradigms, but I
still haven't managed to grasp what the difference is.
Thanks,
Helen
