Lev Vygotsky

the child is viewed
as an active seeker of knowledge;
the child and environment interact together enabling cognitive development in a culturally adaptive way;
Vygotsky believes that…

the mind is
perceived to be socially constructed;
the child is born with basic attentional, perceptual and memory capacities;
Vygotsky believes that…

development
occurs as a direct result of contact with the environment;
language and thought develop independently, but eventually merge and interact.
Vygotsky believes that…

children must
speak to themselves in a self guiding and directing way- initially aloud and later internally
Vygotsky believes that…

Development involves the
internalization of signs acquired by an individual from others so that he can solve problems by himself
1. Self-Regulation
![Page 8: Vygotsky's Cognitive development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fd29faf79598a038b4584/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
refers to the tasks a
child is unable to complete alone, but is able to complete with the assistance of an adult.
2. Zone of Proximal Development

The teacher gives a
learning experience for a specific child at a level just beyond his/her current level of performance.

In order for a
child to learn new concepts or skills the teacher must provide scaffolds for the learning experience.
3. Scaffolding
![Page 12: Vygotsky's Cognitive development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fd29faf79598a038b4584/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Like scaffolding on a building,
supports are withdrawn as individual competence develops. Scaffolding may include physical presence and prompts along with more specific metacognitive strategies.

Child as an active participant in the
learning process. Importance of individual difference. Assist children in discovery. Teachers should guide learning through
explanation, demonstration and verbal prompts.
Educational Implications
![Page 14: Vygotsky's Cognitive development](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061122/546fd29faf79598a038b4584/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Tailor lessons to each child's zone of proximal
development. Early childhood – promote teacher/child and
child/child interactions. Promote fantasy play. Within the learning environment focus on
literacy activities. Use prompts, reminders, increase independence,
give information, use cooperative learning and reciprocal teaching strategies.

Language is the most important
tool for gaining this social knowledge
Children can learn a lot via language
Vygotsky also believed that…

“Words play a central part
not only in the
development of thought
but in the historical
growth of consciousness
as a whole.”
“The speech structures
mastered by the child
become the basic
structures of his thinking.”
