Press, 1980. 15-143. Print.
The book, Conversations with Jean Piaget was originally written in 1980 in French and then translated. Jean-Claude Bringuier interviewed Jean Piaget and recorded his actual statements. This book is useful and trustworthy because it is the retelling of Piaget's theory verbatim from Piaget himself. The University of Chicago Press is also a viable source because it is an academic publisher and therefore can be trusted to print useful and accurate information. Overall this is one of the most useful sources due to its high level of credibility.
Daniels, Harry. Vygotsky and Pedagogy. New York; Routledge, 2001. 5-68. Print.
The author of this book, Harry Daniels, has written many academic books on research and psychology. He also helped compile the Cambridge Companion to Vygotsky. Daniels has specialized in writting on educational theory, and especially Vygotsky throughout his career. His position as an academic writer makes Harry Daniels a qualified source to obtain information from. In this book I found how Vygotsky approaches pedagogy and what he believes should be accomplished in the classroom. The publisher is also a very credible source. Routledge is a publishing company for academic purposes. Routledge publishes academic books, journals, textbooks, media, and reference works and is also a very credible source for this reason.
"Overview." ED.gov U.S. Department of Education, 1 July 2009. Web. 4 November 2009.
This website is the location where I found information about the U.S. Department of Education. Here I found their purpose statement, goals, funding, and other relative information. This site is a trustworthy site because it is produce by the government and is a national department. The statistics generated by the U.S. Department of Education are taken as trustworthy as it is held accountable by the population and authorities of the nation. I found useful statistics, links, and statements on this website to incorporate into my paper. Although I would not use this website to find all my information, I think it is a useful website for determining the current state of the American public school system and its goals.
Typhon, Anastasia, and Jacques Voneche. Piaget - Vygotsky: The Social Genesis of Thought.
London; Psychology Press, 1996. 174-186. Print.
Although the only information I could find on the authors in them being cited in other works, I do believe that this book is a credible and useful source. The publisher is the Psychology Press which only publishes academic sources for the purposes of Psychology. This means that the Psychology Press prints academic textbooks, books, journals, and works done by trustworthy and notable psychologists. The information provided in this book is a useful compare and constrast between Piaget and Vygotsky and given insight into how both men viewed the formation of thought. The book quotes from reliable sources and is in itself a reliable source.
