  7. The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) • Distance between a student’s ability to perform a task under “MKO” and the student’s ability solving the problem independently. • According to Vygotsky, learning occurred in this zone. • http://projects.coe.uga.edu/epltt/index.php?title=Vygotsky%27s_constructivism

  8. Social Interaction • “Every function in the child’s cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological).” • Fundamental role in the process of cognitive development.

  9. Defined Stages • His theory states that development is limited to a certain range at a certain age. • This development is assisted by continued social interaction.
