| dc.description | Abstract This chapter explores the application of the Dialogical Co-Zone of Proximal Development the phenomenon of Twice-exceptional (TE), where children exhibit both giftedness and learning difficulties. The study critiques traditional educational frameworks that impose static, dichotomous labels on TE children, arguing instead for a dynamic, dialectical approach that recognizes the tensions and contextual variations in their development. Drawing from Vygotsky’s psychology of art and Lewin’s conditional-genetic methodology, the chapter introduces a catalytic methodology using fables and dramatization to facilitate children’s self-leadership and developmental movement. By analyzing the role of counter-positioning, connection, and deviation in children’s learning trajectories, the chapter demonstrates how dialogical interactions can foster agency and adaptive self-concept formation. The proposed approach challenges normative constructs of ability and disability, advocating for an educational model that embraces fluidity, historical context, and the co-construction of learning environments. Ultimately, it underscores the necessity of acknowledging children’s agency in shaping their developmental paths. | |
