Instrumentalism: Vygotsky's and Dewey's concepts for professionals.

Why is a task-centered approach critical for professionals? This approach means an ability to plan tasks or particular steps of solving a problem. Therefore it helps to control the process and make deliberate decisions rather than intuitive ones. Only this understanding makes your results more stable. Besides, it focuses your attention on all the necessary instruments.

So the principle of instrumentalism is the other side of the task-centered approach. And it helps not only in solving your professional tasks but in learning. What is more, these principles have their roots in the works of Lev Vygotsky and John Dewey.
