    Think back to when you were young

    How do you think you learned to crawl?

    Learned to walk? Learned to eat?


    A Russian theorist popular in
    early 1900s said that this
    social interaction between you
    and your parents resulted in
    you learning all of these
    things.
    The basis of his theory is that a developing
    child needs social interaction to develop
    skills like reasoning , memory, attention
    and language.
    Sociocultural Theory
    •It is an emerging theory in psychology that looks
    at the important contributions that society makes
    to individual development. This theory stresses
    the interaction between developing people and
    the culture in which they live.
    Take answering a phone for example:
    When the phone rings, you exhibit many cognitive functions you
    learned because of you social interaction with a parent or other
    adult.
    Perception: Hearing the ringtone
    Decision making: Answering or not
    Motor skills: Lifting the phone
    Language skills: Talking and understanding language
    Social skills: Interpreting tone of voice and interacting
    properly with another human being
    From the children’s interaction with
    others, concepts and social behavior are
    formed (social level). The children’s
    thinking is affected by their knowledge
    of the social community.
    The Role of Social Interaction
    •Children learn from the more knowledgeable
    others (MKOs). A child who is guided by
    verbal clues by the mother learns how to tear
    off the plastic covering of cookies.
    Process of Social Interaction

    Seeing Jointly doing Independently


    doing
    Seeing your mother Tying shoes together
    tying shoes Doing it on your own
    The Role of Language
    • Language plays multiple role in the theory of human
    cognitive development, including culturally shaping the
    behavior of individual as well as their thinking. Through
    language, human cognitive development and higher
    mental functions are initiated from social
    communications.
    Stages of Speech Development
    • Social or external speech (0-3) - Speech only occurs on the
    external or social level to express a desire to convey
    simple emotions such as shouting or crying.
    • Egocentric speech(3-7) - Children think out loud or talk to
    themselves as they are doing something.
    • Inner speech - Soundless speech or thought
    Zone of Proximal Development
    Zone of Proximal Development
    Is a difference between what a learner can do
    without help and what a learner can do with help.
    The child's performance is at a higher level with
    adult guidance. Eventually, through participating
    with adult, the child becomes more capable of
    carrying out similar activities on their own because
    this joint problem-solving has been internalized by
    the child.
    When inside the ZPD, an adult and child may in
    many cases not have the same definition of a
    situation at first

    • A child may view it as object to be


    thrown or used for anything he or
    she likes

    • Whereas an adult may view it as a


    thing that use for hair
    The adult and child must come to some
    agreement on how to define the situation
    before they can achieve an end goal
    In ZPD, adults use a scaffolding technique to
    help a child complete an activity
    Like scaffolding aids a building, the adult aids the
    child, the adult supports the child when they are
    struggling, then steps back when the child is doing
    well.
    Do you think you've ever been in ZPD?
    Teaching Implications of
    Vygotsky's Theory
    Vygotsky's theory promotes learning
    context in which students play an active
    role in learning. His theory requires that
    the teachers and learners are
    collaborators in the learning process.
    As Educators
    Vygotsky wants you to assign tasks that your students
    cannot do on their own, but can do with assistance. This
    will put them in the ZPD. You should provide just enough
    assistance so that your students learn to complete tasks
    independently and provide an environment that enables
    students to do challenging tasks with less and less guidance.
    Thank you!
