- Social interactions
- Cognitive development takes place in a social context
- Learning takes place with cultural tools - language, objects, built environment, social structures
- Knowledge is not symmetric; guided participation and scaffolding by more knowledgeable partners
- Language guides thinking and acting; inner speech and dialogue

Why? lhje20 https://padlet.com/lhje20/kov5kfd1wr38/wish/253734866 2018-04-20 08:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lhje20/kov5kfd1wr38/wish/253734866 Why is the 'dialogic process' of teaching and learning important? https://padlet.com/lhje20/kov5kfd1wr38/wish/253735699 It is one of the most important functions of learning - it's key to involve a number of different types of learning - auditory, kinesthetic and visual but Vygotsky focuses on the 'dialogic process' between teachers and pupils. 

Through dialogue, teachers can elicit students' every day, 'common sense' perspectives, engage with their developing ideas and help them overcome misunderstandings.

When students are given opportunities to contribute to classroom dialogue in extended and varied ways, they can explore the limits of their own understanding. At the same time they practice new ways of using language as a tool for constructing knowledge.

"Pairing students for field experience placements can provide peer collaboration which fosters deeper understanding of classroom situations"

"Creating interpersonal joint activity settings in classroom is the natural next step"

"To develop, individuals must take active roles in sharing understandings"]]> 2018-04-20 08:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lhje20/kov5kfd1wr38/wish/253738701 How is Vygotskys theory applied to education? lhje20 https://padlet.com/lhje20/kov5kfd1wr38/wish/253739185 - dialogic teaching
- peer -peer interactions enhances learning 
- scaffolding - activities compromise between things students can do on their own and things they can do with assistance. e.g. primary students using beads to help with addition. Students eventually will learn addition without beads - promotes cognitive development. 
- known as proximal development.

Students began assuming the role of the leader, slowly being weaned off instruction. The teaching was embedded in as natural a dialogue as possible, wth the social context supportive of the efforts of the learners. ]]> 2018-04-20 08:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lhje20/kov5kfd1wr38/wish/253740235 Classroom Application legionario07 https://padlet.com/lhje20/kov5kfd1wr38/wish/253742045 http://wps.ablongman.com/ab_slavin_edpsych_8/38/9951/2547689.cw/content/index.html
" Vygotsky’s concept of the zone of proximal development is based on the idea that development is defined both by what a child can do independently and by what the child can do when assisted by an adult or more competent peer".
" According to Vygotsky, for the curriculum to be developmentally appropriate, the teacher must plan activities that encompass not only what children are capable of doing on their own but what they can learn with the help of others (Karpov & Haywood, 1998). "]]> 2018-04-20 09:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lhje20/kov5kfd1wr38/wish/253742045
