He developed important theories about the way children learn and grow within culture and society.
Vygotsky noticed that children also learn a great deal from peer interactions. In fact, children often pay more attention to what friends and classmates know and are doing than they do to adults. Teachers can leverage this tendency by pairing less skilled children with more knowledgeable classmates to observe and imitate.]]> 2022-12-02 12:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406554812 The Zone of Proximal Development mmwinchester10 https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406557401 Vygotsky defined it as "The distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem-solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers."
In other words, the zone is the gap between what a child knows and what they do not. Acquiring the missing information requires skills that a child does not yet possess or cannot use independently, but can with the help of a "more knowledgeable other."

-knowledge is actively constructed by learners in response to interactions with environmental stimuli. 
-Humans’ linguistic abilities enable them to overcome the natural limitations of their perceptual field by imposing culturally defined sense and meaning on the world. Language and culture are the frameworks through which humans experience, communicate, and understand reality.]]> 2022-12-02 12:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406561260 mmwinchester10 https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406562840 2022-12-02 12:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406562840 mmwinchester10 https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406563933 2022-12-02 12:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406563933 mmwinchester10 https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406564481 2022-12-02 12:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mmwinchester10/TandLR/wish/2406564481
