He suggested that cognitive development occurs through a combination of biological maturation and environmental influences. Through all this thinking and knowledge develop through changes.

  1. Schemas

  2. Adaptation

  3. Assimilation and Accommodation

Children go through Four Stages of Cognitive Development

  1. Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to Age 2)

  2. Pre-Operational Stage (Age 2 - 7)

  3. Concrete Operational Stage (Age 7-11)

  4. Formal Operational Stage (11+ to adulthood)

Ley Vygotsy jjordan0025_1_1 https://padlet.com/jjordan0025_1_1/506le8jsadlkzh9a/wish/3467854343 Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is the distance between someone who can do something independently and something they need help with or guidance with.


An example of this is when a child learns to ride a scooter. First, they start with a beginner scooter that has three wheels and receive guidance from their parents. With practice, they eventually transition to a two-wheeled scooter and ride independently. This progression happens through the zone of proximal development.

Barbara Rogoff jjordan0025_1_1 https://padlet.com/jjordan0025_1_1/506le8jsadlkzh9a/wish/3467867155 This concept connects with Ley Vygotsy Zone of Proximal Development. This concept is that learning happens through social interactions, not just by given instructions, and includes both verbal and non-verbal forms of guidance.


An example of this concept is a student working alone on her assignment. Even though she is alone or isolated, she is still guided and influenced by the people around her.

This is different from sociocultural theory, which focuses on learning as a cultural and social process. This theory encourages teachers and students to collaborate and relate their lessons to the real world. This theory also has been expanding to digital technologies like online learning to help students.

Both of these theories are different but very important in education and learning in many ways.

This debate explores whether human development and behavior are mostly shaped by genetics and biology or by culture and environment. Some people believe that these two work together and some don't.
