Vygotsky's and Buber's Pedagogical Perspectives: Some Affinities

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the dialogical and creative character of pedagogic work by analyzing the affinities between Martin Buber's I-Thou relation and Lev Semenovich Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development. Backed up by empirical studies on the teacher-student relation, we understand that education can only result in students' development if meaningful processes are undertaken. The paper asserts that education shall primarily aim at promoting relational possibilities.

“…Still, to maintain its educational nature and to avoid becoming friendship, Buber (1947Buber ( /2002) considered teachers to be pedagogical filters of the world which makes educational relationships asymmetrical.

What is crucial in this process is developing in students the capacity to ask questions, knowing what to ask is essential in becoming a reflective practitioner or theologically reflective practitioner and this is what tutors can model (Bartholo, Tunes, and Tacca, 2010).…”

“…In continuation, the discourse of education does offer comparative studies of social constructivism and existential perspectives. To mention one such study, that by Bartholo et al (2010), attempted to 'examine the dialogical and creative character of pedagogic work by analyzing the affinities between Martin Buber's I-Thou relation and Vygotsky's 'zone of proximal development ' (2010, p. 867).
