Educational relevance of Vygotskian theory by https://padlet.com/afw23/wyaawu5zmn9q en-us 2018-04-09 08:21:48 UTC 2024-12-08 17:07:55 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png Classroom Applications acw33 https://padlet.com/afw23/wyaawu5zmn9q/wish/250404162 Vygotsky’s theory of the zone of proximal development argues that development is defined both by what a child can do independently and when assisted (Daniels, 1995; Wertsch, 1991) and this has several implications for teaching in the classroom.

According to Vygotsky, teachers 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).
Teachers can use information about Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development in organizing classroom activities in the following ways:
  • Cooperative learning activities can be planned with groups of children at different levels who can help each other learn.
  • Scaffolding (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976) is a tactic for helping the child in which the adult provides hints and prompts at different levels. In scaffolding, the adult does not simplify the task, but the role of the learner is simplified “through the graduated intervention of the teacher” (Greenfield, 1984, p. 119).
    • In a high school laboratory science class, a teacher might provide scaffolding by first giving students detailed guides to carrying out experiments, then giving them brief outlines that they might use to structure experiments, and finally asking them to set up experiments entirely on their own.

     --> encourage growth and development
    --> shift the responsibility of learning from teacher to students
   --> help learners become more independent
Effective scaffolding
  • knowing students' strengths and needs
  • provide tailored assistance that is adjusted on an as-needed basis
  • build learners' confidence
  • descriptive feedback - improvements and acknowledgement
  • scaffolds can be reduced for students with learning difficulties
    • change the intensity of scaffolding
  • e.g. USE OF TECHNOLOGY
    • flexible, unobtrusive scaffolds

2.  A model of learning as ahead of development that everybody can access, hence ‘all’ children can further develop their competencies and this is best done in conjunction with an interrogation of the social institutions they are a part of.
