Some thoughts about the psychology of Education. Theories of learning.

The concept of activity and its role in the phylogenetic and ontogenetic development of the psyche and personality of man is an element of the invariant core of modern psychology. In the process of activity the higher psychic functions are formed and function, the personality is formed. Throughout his life, man is engaged in some activity that is the essence of the process of his actual existence. Deepness also accompanies the entire historical process of the conscious existence of mankind. The change of subject matter through activity leads to internal changes in the personality.

In the individual-psychic aspect, this process begins with the game, and in the historical aspect - with the labor. In the psychological analysis of the activity, the subject of the activity is examined in unity and the object to which this activity is planted. The activity is not a mechanical combination of external actions with material objects, nor a combination of psychic processes or nervous brain connections. Deity is a real process of relationship between man and subject reality, mediated by the tools of activity and mental reflection. The main feature of the external activity is its purpose. The tools through which it is carried out are decisive in terms of internal activity. The external subject activity and its corresponding internal mental activity have analogous structures, with external activity being the main and determinant.

This means that its structure translates into an internal aspect and forms the structure of mental activity. This transfer of the external subject activity internally is a process which is meant by the notion of interiorization. Piage, Vigotski and psychologists have studied the problem of the formation and development of higher psychic functions - thinking, speech, imagination, memory. Interiorisation means the transition, as a result of which the outward-form processes, carried out by external object actions with certain cannons, are transformed into processes that take place in an internal psychic aspect. These processes are transformed, shortened and summarized with the help of speech and form the preconditions for the future development of personality, which goes beyond the limits of the possibilities of external action.
