Piaget's Theory:
-Mix assimilations and accommodations
-Take into account children's level of cognitive development
-Teach children in a way that reflects their nature as natural-born scientists
-Pay as much attention to understanding and correcting the bases of children's errors as t rewarding their correct answers
-Teach children in a way that allows new cognitive structures to always build on old ones

Vygotsky's Theory:
-Serve as a role model for students
-Build rather than hinder language
"It is important that a second language add to-rather than subtract from- the child's first language" (52)
-Make sure you neither expect too much or too little

Piaget: Horizontal decalage—the temporary difference in levels of performance that a child shows between various cognitive domains or activities within a given stage of development.

Vygotsky: Different experiences and interactions in society or within culture.

Piaget used formal observation and experiments like conservation to investigate cognitive development.  He studied the development of his own children.

Vygotsky assessed the zone of proximal development in a dynamic assessment environment. This method measures independent performance and guided performance.

Piaget: Universal. "all children pass through the stages in the same order" (42)

Vygotsky: His model varies between cultures because it is based on social constructivism and nurture which varies in each culture.

Piaget: Equilibration—the balancing of cognitive structures with the needs of the environment. Piaget argues that when faced with disequilibrium, children use assimilation and accommodation to develop new schemas.

Vygotsky: Through social constructivism. The emphasis on learning in groups.
