The project has been running for over 12 years now, putting theory of the approach into practice in several cities throughout the Russian Federation. One of the key elements in this project is developing the ability to think in mind using chess problems and sequential progress through material where solving of problems becoming more idea-based and less action-based using the notion of the stage-by-stage formation of mental actions. Unlike other methods teachers use to teach chess, the Chess for Overall Development project views chess primarily as a psychological instrument for helping develop the ability to think in mind. The basis for the ideas of the project is L.S. Vygotsky's cultural-historical psychology. Vygotsky's notions on the development of the human psyche are implemented and partially expanded as part of the project. In recent years the software " Chess for overall development " was made designed with full compatibility with the principles of the reflection and activity approach and implementing the notion of the ability to think in mind development and sequential transition from material to ideal plane of mental actions. We present detailed description of the software features as well as its approbation results collected in schools, universities and hospitals.

contradictions that emerged around the activity of learning to teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language) in a SLTE (Second Language Teacher Education) program in Chile. This
study followed a CHAT framework which views teacher learning as a localized activity. This study examined the contradictions that emerged in two settings: schools and the university program from the perspective of pre-service teachers. The findings of this study contribute to shed light on the dialectical nature of teacher learning and its contradictory dynamics between national policies on education, teacher education programs, between theory and practice, and between the views of pre-service teachers, other stakeholders and the reality of the classroom.
