ASSESSING VYGOTSKY’S MODEL FOR STUDENTS LEARNING
Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Socio-cultural theory, as proposed by Vygotsky, sheds light on our understanding of effective instruction in the Zone of Proximal Development and Scaffolding concepts. Teachers can assist learners by transmitting knowledge and skills to them in the learning environment applying ZPD and Scaffolding metaphors. Social interaction of teachers, and learners, or more knowledgeable others are vital in the mentioned above theory. Scaffolding is useful as the learner will become more independent and exercise control in learning. However, the theory can be ineffective when teaching large classes. Teachers may not find it easy to scaffold with many learners.
