  1. Lev Semenovich Vygotsky 1896-1934

  2. Vygotsky • A person’s interpersonal, or internal processes, have their roots in interactions with others. • Emphasized language and social interaction much more than Piaget • Proposed that developmental progress occurs through discussion and reasoning in a social context (language is a tool use to aid development)

  3. Vygotsky • Soviet Dialectical theory • Contradiction spurs development • Start with one notion (thesis) • Find something that contradicts (antithesis) • Work to resolve contradiction by constructing some new concept that takes both thesis and antithesis into account (synthesis)

  4. Vygotsky’s Stages • From independent genetic roots language and thought begin to merge early in development • Stage1 (1st year): Pre-verbal thought and pre-intellectual speech • Stage 2 (2nd year): Practical intelligence and syntactic mastery • Stage 3 (2-4 years): Egocentric speech using symbols as aids/discovering that things have names • Stage 4(4years to adulthood): inner speech and the growth of verbal thought

  5. Vygotsky’s Position on merging of thought and speech • If children’s language climate is full of “simplistic” or “primitive” language, they will think “simplistically” or “primitively” meaning becomes a unit of verbal thinking 4 thought becomes inner speech... 3 some thought is aided by symbols physical rules grammatical rules 2 practical knowledge 1 Birth Thought Speech

  6. Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development • Developed three main developmental ideas: • Internalization • Zone of Proximal Development • Scaffolding

  7. Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development • Internalization - taking in knowledge observed in a social context. • Language is key to the internalization of complex ideas.

  8. Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development • Zone of Proximal Development - the range between a child’s level of independent performance and the level of performance a child can reach with assistance.

  9. Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development • Scaffolding- competent assistance or support, usually provided through mediation of the environment by a parent or teacher, by which cognitive, socioemotional, and behavioral forms of development are facilitated.
