Vygotsky's Social Cultural Theory
Focus
How culture is being passed down from one generation to the next
The interaction between developing people and the culture in which they live.
The importance of play in learning where both parents and teacher provide opportunities for play experiences.
Types of play that can foster learning are: Imaginary play role-playing games re-enactments of real events
These help promote growth of abstract thought and through playing and imagining, they further stretch their conceptual abilities and knowledge of world.
A person’s cognitive development is largely influenced by their surrounding culture.
Human learning largely consists of a social process.
Guided participation
develop better tenacity & learn more
widely used around the world, but cultures may differ
works best when children are in a positive, responsive environment that encourages interactions
Social interaction
between
children
&
more knowledgeable adults
(parents or teachers)
acquire the ways of thinking & behaving in a community's culture
develop problem-solving skills
It includes all of the knowledge and skills that a person cannot yet understand or perform on their own, but is capable of learning with guidance.
Zone of proximal development
Is when a child is able to perform tasks independently but still needs help to suceed.
Example
: a 5 year old is able to ride a tricycle on her own. However she may need help from her grandfather to hold the back of a 2- wheeled bicycle for her to practice balancing on it.With enough practice, she would be able to ride the bicycle independently
the distance between the actual development level as determined by independent problem solving under parent guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.
One of the important concept in sociocultural theory.
Scaffolding
What zone of proximal development is known as now
the
support
given by an
More Knowledgeable Other
that allows the child to perform task
until the child can perform it on his/her own
Example
: the support given to the 5 year old by her grandfather would decrease as she becomes more skilled at riding the bicycle.When the 5 year old is able to ride the bicycle independently is when the scaffolding is removed
types of support
-general encouragement
-specific instructions
-direct demonstration
