Learning and development is a social, collaborative activity The key theme of Vygotsky’s principle is that social interaction plays a very essential role in cognitive development. He believed that individual development could not be understood without looking into the social and cultural context within which development happens. Thus, I can say that indeed, learning and development come together. It is a social and collaborative activity. While a particular child is learning, he is also fostering his cognitive skills as well as his relationship with other children that will help him develop a well-rounded personality.
The Zone of Proximal Development can serve as a guide
for curricular and lesson planning
Definitely, yes! The zone of proximal development can serve as a guide for curricular and lesson planning. As we all know, this zone represents a learning opportunity where a knowledgeable adult such as a teacher, parent or more advanced peer can assist the child’s development. In that case, we can say that it is indeed, a guide for curricular and it needs the aid of what we call scaffolds. In terms of lesson planning, it can also be a guide provided that teachers will be able to set their respective pedagogies on how to further their lesson and as well as to conform to the lesson objectives for a better learning outcome.
