Contribution
The goal of our investigation is finding factors that influence the development of a students learning culture. Particularly we are interested in both factors, such that are hampering and accelerating the process of its formation. We suggest comparing learning cultures of Russian and German students lead us to discover the influence of factors such as equipment, learning conditions and others different for these two groups. The main hypothesis is that although the new learning culture is a strong demand of knowledge-society it is not reality yet, but it is just developing - it is in the students’ zone of proximal development (ZPD). But until now we know only little about how to support this developmental process.
We base our research on the approach of cultural-historical psychology (L.S. Vygotsky) and activity theory (S.L. Rubinstein, A.N. Leontiev, P.J. Galperin). Following Leontiev, Galperin and others, our research will consider three aspects of learning activity: instrumental – connected to methods, algorithms and strategies, motivational – related to motives, values and attitudes, and orientational – separation of important conditions and parameters that define the activity process.
