Vygotsky speaks about children learning from the more knowledgeable one (MKO), this is someone who knows the topic or experience more than the child. For example; parent, carer, older sibling, teacher etc.]]> 2023-09-04 00:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2682631177 https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2687962528 Children learn from their cultural context and are impacted upon by significant others. Therefore childrens ideas about education will differ depending on their context. When a significant other (teacher, parent) engages in a task with the child, the child is more likely to build upon their skills as the gap between what they know and what they can know is built upon, which is referred to as Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development.

2. A child development is dependent on support from a MKO.
3. Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). A child has the potential to progress from their actual development to their potential development by moving through this zone with the support of a MKO.]]> 2023-09-09 05:47:40 UTC https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2691444837 https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2707133654 Learning is when the more knowledgeable other scaffolds, guides children through the ZPD to establish knowledge they didn't previously have.]]> 2023-09-17 03:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2707133654 Sociocultural theory emphasizes the influence of society and culture on individual development. Sociocultural theory states that learning and cognitive development occur through social interaction, with language playing a crucial role in shaping thought and behaviour. https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2970763323 2024-04-26 05:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2970763323 Children learn through social proximity and interactions with others, which is influenced by their own social and cultural contexts. Learning occurs in the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), where students are able to learn something that they could not do independently with scaffolding and support from a More Knowledgeable Other. This extends a child from their Zone of Actual Development (ZAD) to the ZPD where learning occurs. https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2974374404 2024-04-29 23:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/nthompso2/598loqqa9f3drhwx/wish/2974374404
