This open-access book introduces Piotr Galperin's legacy to researchers, educators, and psychologists, presenting his holistic and systemic approach to studying psychological phenomena and processes. The translated lectures cover his pedagogical theory and argue for the development of higher mental functions through teaching and learning. These ideas are particularly relevant to educational practitioners and researchers interested in developmental learning and teaching approaches.

This open-access book introduces the legacy of Piotr Galperin to a broader audience of researchers, educators, and psychologists. Previous translations of Galperin's work present only some aspects of his conceptual thinking; however, his main contribution to general, genetic, and pedagogical psychology as a unique holistic and systemic approach to studying psychological phenomena and processes, mechanisms of their formation and development, is still quite unknown in most parts of the world. The eight lectures chosen for the book have been translated from Russian for the first time and belong to Galperin's collection of Lectures in Psychology (Galperin, 2002). These eight lectures present the central ideas of Galperin's pedagogical theory and conceptualize the learning-to-learn approach, arguing how teaching and learning processes can enhance the development of higher mental functions with learners and, therefore, enhance the development of students as learners. These ideas may be of primary importance to educational practitioners and researchers interested in developmental learning and teaching approaches given the current concerns of educational practice that schools struggle to prepare students for their adult lives and the need to develop the capacity for lifelong learning with students in the 21st century.
