TOWARD AN INTEGRATION OF PIAGET AND VYGOTSKY: BILINGUAL CONSIDERATIONSl BRUCE BAIN The unprejudiced study of human development reveals the urgent need for a more integrated understanding ofthat phenomenon. On the one hand, we have a detailed and concise map of the biologically rooted process of maturation in its evolution toward epistemic competence in the works of Jean Piaget. On the other hand, we have a penetrating analysis of how specific cultural-historical conditions give unique direction and meaning to that evolution in the works of Lev Vygotsky. Theoretical integration of these two works in spirit or in kind would provide a more balanced view of the developing child, one more in keeping with empirical and phenomenological evidences. Efforts large and small have been made to bring about this necessary unity [e.g., Werner (1926) Merleau-Ponty (1945) Politzer (1947) Wallon (1947) Luria and Yudovich (1959) Church (1961) Payne (1968) Wozniak (1972) Riegel (1973) Bain (1973) Schmidt (1973)]. The purpose of this paper is to offer a small insight into a possible direction which such a theoretical integration might take by presenting two studies on the course of development when children are raised and schooled in a bilingual manner.
