VYGOTSKY' SOCIO CULTURAL THEORY
VYGOTSKY'S SOCIO CULTURAL THEORY
- Vygotsky theory is that social interaction plays a very important in cognitive development.
- Did not focus on the individual and child as a product of social interaction especially with adults.
- Focus on the dynamic interaction rather than child by himself.
People thinking differ dramatically between cultures because different cultures stress different things.
4 BASIC PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING THE VYGOTSKY FRAMEWORK:
- Children construct their knowledge.
- Development cannot be separated from its social content.
- learning is mediated.
- language plays a central role in mental development.
MAIN PRINCIPLES
- The more knowledgeable other- refers to anyone who has better understanding or higher ability level than the learner.
- Zone of proximal Development- difference between what child can accomplish alone and she can accomplish with the guidance of another.
FEATURES OF PROXIMAL OF ZPD
- SCAFFOLDING-appropriate assistance given by the teacher to assist the learners accomplish to a task.
- RECIPROCAL TEACHING- a highly successful teaching method , it provides an environment of open dialogue between student and teacher which goes beyond a simple question and answer session.
TYPES OF MENTAL FUNCTION
- LOWER MENTAL FUNCTION- ate those with which we are born, are the natural functions and are genetically determined.
- HIGHER MENTAL FUNCTION- are acquired and developed through social interaction
My reflection- it describes learning as a social process and the origination of human intelligence in society or culture.
