Detailed explanation-1: -2. Many children in kindergarten enjoy playing ‘house. ‘ How does the value of play benefit young children, according to Vygotsky? Play should be encouraged because it allows the teacher a chance to assess the students.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory, play is an important part of early childhood. Vygotsky believed that play promotes cognitive, social, and emotional development in children.
Detailed explanation-3: -Where Piaget presented the child as a ‘lone scientist’, Vygotsky emphasised the social and cultural aspects of play. He argued that during play children were able to think in more complex ways than in their everyday lives, and could make up rules, use symbols and create narratives.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Vygotsky, in separating mental symbols from reality, children augment their internal capacity to regulate their actions; in engaging in rule-based play, they respond to external pressures to act in socially desirable ways.
Detailed explanation-5: -Vygotsky’s Cognitive Development Theory argues that cognitive abilities are socially guided and constructed. As such, culture serves as a mediator for the formation and development of specific abilities, such as learning, memory, attention, and problem solving.
