Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of development emphasizes that cognitive development occurs through social interaction and culture. According to Vygotsky, learning is facilitated by scaffolding and the zone of proximal development. Scaffolding involves providing support that allows children to accomplish tasks they cannot do independently. The zone of proximal development defines what a child can do with help versus what they can do alone. Situated learning theory proposed by Lave focuses on authentic learning within real-world contexts rather than memorization. Both theories highlight the importance of social and cultural influences on learning.

Ebrole, Novie Mae E. BSED Social Studies 2 Sociocultural Theory of Development
• This theory stated that students learn
through social interaction and their culture. • 3 Central Factors of Cognitive Development 1. Culture
Vygotsky believed in the
crucial role ofculture played on the cognitive developmentof children. 2. Social Interaction • Vygotsky gave more weight on the social interaction that contributed to thecognitive development of individuals. • Vygotsky emphasize that effective learning happens through participation in social activities. 3. Language
• Language open the door for learners to
acquire knowledge that other already have. • Learning use language to understand and solve problems. • It helps learners regulate and reflect on his own thinking. Private Speech * Is a form of “self-talk” that guides the child’s thinking and action. Hands-on activities Help children acquire more knowled than passive listening Zone of Actual Development
When a child attempts to perform a skill
alone, she may not be proficient at it. Zone of proximal development • Zone of proximal development define those functions that have not yet matured, but are in the process. The gap between what a child cando alone and what a child can with help from adults or peers who are more capable than the child. Scaffolding * The support or assistance that lets the child accomplished a task he cannot accomplish independently. * Involves judicious assistance given by the adult or peer. * Adult unzips the zipper an inch or two and then. Example of scaffolding: • Adult unzips the zipper an inch or two and then holds the lunch bag so that the child can continue to unzip the lunch bag. • Loosing the food container lid just a bit and letting child open the lid himself. Scaffolding and Fade-away Technique
• Withdrawing the guidance when the child
could do on their own what they could not initially do without assistance. Vygotsky Theory • Cognitive development is a product of social interaction. • Claims that there is a strong connection between learning language and the development of thinking. • Highlights the role of mentor in cognitive development. • Well applied to teaching strategies. • More social in focus. • Emphasized on cultural factors in cognitive development. Jean Lave Situated Learning • PhD in social anthropology • Social anthropologist • Social learning theorist • Graduated with a doctorate from Harvard University in 1998 3 main characteristics • Learning the unintentional and located within an authentic setting. • To improve learning by motivating students and by providing a rich context for them. • Emphasizes the context and applicationof knowledge rather than memorizing facts. Strength • Brings real world experience into the classroom • Allow student to make conclusions for themselves. • Gets away from just memorizing facts. Weakness • Teachers role changes from expert tosimply facilitating and with this runs the risks of students making incorrect conclusions. • Situated learning may be deemed irresponsible as it has the potential to cast professional teaching strategies to the side which often make content accessible to students. Relate to Constructivism • Constructivism- type of learning that explains human learning as an active attempt to construct meaning in the world around us. • Situated learning brings real world experience to the classroom so they can take what they learned back out into the world. Situated Learning Classroom • Starts early in elementary school-teachers independence and self-exploration. • Teachers: inquiry-based theory; helps steer them toward. interests. • Group seating; promote cooperation and collaboration. • Computer center, smart board, Elmo, clickers for smart board. • Goals, Promote individual growth through real world experience.
