He wrote over 100 articles and books but was unknown among English Speaking educators until the 1960s when his works were translated]]> 2018-02-05 04:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rhendric2/2u2nmuegswe1/wish/227962318 The Zone of Proximal Development rhendric2 https://padlet.com/rhendric2/2u2nmuegswe1/wish/227968642 *guided learning through social interactions with a more knowledgeable adult or through peer collaboration to co-construct knowledge.

Adults transmit their cultures' tools of intellectual adaptation to the child and the child's environment influences how they think and what they think about. ]]> 2018-02-05 05:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rhendric2/2u2nmuegswe1/wish/227970124 Language rhendric2 https://padlet.com/rhendric2/2u2nmuegswe1/wish/227970464 Vygotsky believed language and thought are separate systems from the beginning of life until around age 2. The child displays 'social speech' during this development.

Around age 3, the child begins to merge language and thought to produce verbal thought or inner speech, also called 'private speech'.

Language becomes internalized before speaking around age 7. Internalization leads to higher thinking skills and is called 'silent inner speech'.

Imaginative play should be encouraged to develop meaning and make sense of the world, develop thinking skills, problem solve and use language in the correct context.]]> 2018-02-05 05:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rhendric2/2u2nmuegswe1/wish/227971915 References rhendric2 https://padlet.com/rhendric2/2u2nmuegswe1/wish/227972210 David, L.
