Today, I learnt about Sociocultural theory and scaffolding.
Sociocultural theory is a common method of explaining what makes and defines us as individuals is the application of sociocultural approach. This approach emphasizes the influence of the society that we living on our learning process.According to the sociocultural approach, cultural factors such as language, art, social norms and social structures can play a significant role in the development of our cognitive abilities.
The Zone of Proximal Development
One key element of Vygotsky's sociocultural approach is his idea of a Zone of Proximal Development. Commonly abbreviated as ZPD, the Zone of Proximal Development.At the core of Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, there is the area containing the cognitive abilities which we have acquired so far in life. At an earlier age, these are limited. As we travel further outwards from this core, we reach the outer reaches of the zone, which represents the potential of the human mind. This inner potential can be realized through social learning situations.
Vygotsky'Vs Zone of Proximal Development, part of the social-cultural approach in psychology.
From I learnt about sociocutural and scaffolding of Vygotsky.Both theories of Vygotsky can help the teacher about teaching so, they can choose and use both of theories appropriately to students’ ability. If I were a teacher, I have to concern this reasons and I will try to apply both theories for helping the students .Moreover, I think that both of them are good theories.
