LEV VYGOTSKY: SOCIAL COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT CREATED BY MORGAN RODGERS AND IYAWANNA EURE

WHO IS LEV VYGOTSKY RUSSIAN PSYCHOLOGIST STUDIED COGNITIVE LEARNING THEORIES IN THE 1920S AND 30’S

VYGOTSKY CONCLUDED THAT… CULTURE WAS A PRIMARY DETERMINANT IN LEARNING LANGUAGE WAS THE PRIMARY METHOD OF CONVEYING KNOWLEDGE WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

WELL IT MEANS…. ACCORDING TO LEV… LEARNING CAN ONLY TAKE PLACE IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS CHILDREN LEARN BEST FROM ADULTS

VYGOTSKY VS. PIAGET ALIKE BECAUSE: THE EMPHASIS ON LANGUAGE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF PLAY IN LEARNING AND PASSING ON CULTURE NOT ALIKE BECAUSE: PIAGET COLLAPSED THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT INTO STAGES VYGOTSKY DEFINED LEARNING DIFFERENCES BY THE ZPD OR THE ZONE OF PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT

WHAT IS ZONE OF PROXIMAL DEVELOPMENT THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE CHILD CAN DO ON THEIR OWN AND WHAT THE CHILD CAN DO WITH HELP

WHAT IS THE SOCIAL COGNITIVE THEORY CULTURE IS THE PRIMARY DETERMINATE IN LEARNING ACTIVITY, LANGUAGE, CULTURE, SOCIETY, AND SOCIAL INTERACTION ARE IMPORTANT IN COGNITIVE GROWTH NEED A GOOD DEFINITION? –SIMPLIFIED WE LEARN BEHAVIORS THROUGH OBSERVATION, MODELING, AND MOTIVATION SUCH AS POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT 0COGNITIVE%20THEORY#IXZZ3SZBKGTJJ CAN YOU THINK OF AN EXAMPLE TO APPLY THIS TO THE REAL WORLD?

EXAMPLES SIBLINGS THEY TEND TO COPY YOUR BEHAVIOR; IF YOU DO GOOD THINGS THEY WILL DO GOOD THINGS AND IN TURN BE REWARDED FOR THEIR GOOD BEHAVIOR EX. CANDY PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN IF LITTLE KIDS HEAR A CUSS WORD COME FROM YOUR MOUTH THEY WILL REPEAT IT

IMPACT OF CULTURE PROVIDES THE CONTENT KNOWLEDGE DEFINES THE MEANS FOR THINKING CHILDREN LEARN THROUGH EXPERIENCE SHARED WITH OTHERS LANGUAGE IS A PRIMARY FACTOR CHILDREN CANNOT LEARN ON THEIR OWN, THEY NEED HELP- PARENTS TEACH CULTURAL VALUES WHY DID I CHOOSE THIS PICTURE TO REPRESENT CULTURE

IMPORTANCE OF PLAY AND “SELF TALK” CONTRIBUTES TO THE CHILDS INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT ESSISENTIAL TO SOCIAL, PERSONAL, AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES “SELF TALK” OR “INTERNALIZED TALKING” IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT PROVIDES SELF GUIDANCE

CONSCIOUS AWARENESS AWARENESS OF SELF, LANGUAGE, CONCEPTS, PLACE IN THE WORLD ALLOW US TO BE HUMAN AND MAKING THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HISTORY AND CULTURE

IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHING AND TESTING INTERACTION BETWEEN ADULTS AND CHILDREN ARE VITAL IN THE LEARNING PROCESS ADULTS PROVIDE SUPPORT AND ASSIST THE CHILD IN BECOMING AN INDEPENDENT LEARNER THROUGH SCAFFOLDING CHILDREN SHOULD BE ASSESSED JUST ABOVE THEIR LEVEL OF ZPD TESTS MEASURE STUDENTS CURRENT LEVEL OF ABILITY CONSIDER THIS: DO YOU THINK WHAT STUDENTS CAN DO WITH THE HELP OF OTHERS IS A TRUE ASSESSMENT OR SHOULD IT JUST REMAIN A SELF ASSESSMENT
