Educational relevance of Vygotskian theory by https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw Childhood team 1 en-us 2018-04-01 16:33:22 UTC 2023-03-29 03:12:46 UTC hello@padlet.com codiemarshall https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/248538765 - Vygotsky proposed in order for students to learn it should be within their 'Zone of proximal development.'
- ZOPD = a concept or skill that can be learnt with the help of a more knowledgable other, and can later be performed on their own (Scaffolding)
- helpful as allows teachers to recognise what is outside students zone, and can use the educational year to form a step-by-step learning process of which students use scaffolding and a more knowledgable other to slowly master new things]]> 2018-04-04 15:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/248538765 The Value of Teaching Assistants kirsten_bale https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/249150556 - Vygotsky emphasised the role of relationship in learning
- Teaching assistants provide a more closely-knit relationship (and more relationally-based instruction) than a teacher is able to offer; this enhances children's learning.]]> 2018-04-06 09:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/249150556 kirsten_bale https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/249162048 The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."

This quote from Maria Montessori encapsulates the ultimate goal of scaffolding: that children should move from receiving a lot of help, to progressively requiring less and less help, until they reach a point at which they no longer require any help at all.

- Communication with peers improves both ‘intermental’ (social, interactional) activity and ‘intramental’ (individual, cognitive) capabilities. 
- Further emphasis on the importance of children being active learners for themselves, as well as 'good role models' for their peers
- Classroom settings need to continue to evolve to allow for talking as an agent for learning (used to be punished for talking in class)]]> 2018-04-15 17:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/251913954 The Role of Play in Education and Development ellafmarsden https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252150114 - Teachers need to provide children, particularly young children, with many opportunities to play. 
- Through play and imagination a child's conceptual abilities are stretched.
- Vygotsky claimed that play leads to cognitive development as children tend to imitate adults in real-life situations. 
- Children achieve an elementary mastery of abstract thought through their imagination and recognition of implicit rules governing the activities they have reproduced in their games]]> 2018-04-16 14:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252150114 A step by step guide for teachers on using the ZOPD in the classroom codiemarshall https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252169147 2018-04-16 14:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252169147 Seen in school/ university environments annasanders97 https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252197532 Schools- often classroom setting is authoritative learning
University- lectures are dominated by authoritative learning HOWEVER seminars and workshops utilise the concept of collaborative learning. Office hours allow for scaffolding also.
Types of subject- For example, Psychology is a theory based subject where information is taught whereas Physics is a skill based subject whereby students are required to carry out practicals in groups in class.

- encourage students to put knowledge into their own words
- press students to elaborate and justify their views
- allow students extended turns to express their thoughts and reveal their misunderstandings ]]> 2018-04-16 15:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252201354 Dialogic Process annasanders97 https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252202577 - Language shapes how we think; encourages people to think why they are correct and also wrong
- Private speech is an example of this]]> 2018-04-16 15:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252202577 Compare two groups of students annasanders97 https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252205422 -Same age in school
-Control = standard learning procedure
- Experimental group= heavily influenced by Vygotsky's Theory
- 5 years longitudinal study
- Compare grades and experiences of classroom learning (enjoyment of the subject) at the end of experiment]]> 2018-04-16 15:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252205422 Vygotsky in the Classroom annasanders97 https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252210414 Video encompasses many of the aspects of the theory discussed on the wall...]]> 2018-04-16 15:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/codiemarshall/u0gwr1hpr3tw/wish/252210414
