Question

vygotskys view of cognitive development differs from piagets in the importance and emphasis placed on a persons

• experience.
• private speech.
• interpersonal interactions.
• genetic factors.

question 3
application of vygotskys zone of proximal development concept would include

• not introducing new tasks until prerequisite tasks are satisfactorily mastered.
• requiring the student to work completely independently, regardless of success or failure.
• using highly structured materials to introduce new content rather than semi-structured tasks.
• making new tasks slightly beyond the students current level of ability.

Explanation:

For the first question: Vygotsky's sociocultural theory centers on how social interactions shape cognitive development, while Piaget focused more on individual exploration. Interpersonal interactions are the key differentiator here.
For the second question: Vygotsky's zone of proximal development (ZPD) is the gap between a learner's current ability and what they can achieve with guidance. Designing tasks just beyond current ability targets this zone.

Answer:

1. interpersonal interactions.
2. making new tasks slightly beyond the student's current level of ability.
