Vygotsky believed that children cognitive development was based on a socail context. Children were more observant and curious. Vygotsky called children apprentice in thinking because their thinking was changed and stimulated by what adult was in their life. Children need guided participation in social experiences to help them gain knowledge. Vygotsky also believed that each child has a zone of proximal development (ZPD) which is a skill the person has, but has not mastered it completely by themselves.

You hit a lot of points that I noticed weren't being talked about in other blogs. Good job at talking about different areas, such as the ZPD.
ReplyDeleteI talked about the ZPD and I really enjoyed that. I think it is interesting.
