CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) was a Russian psychologist and teacher who developed a theory about how our social interactions influence our cognitive development. This is known as Lev Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory of Cognitive Development.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the social development theory, Leo Vygotsky primarily explains that socialization affects the learning process in an individual. It tries to explain consciousness or awareness as the result of socialization. This means that when we talk to our peers or adults, we talk to them for the sake of communication.

Detailed explanation-3: -As such, Vygotsky outlined three main concepts related to cognitive development: (i) culture is significant in learning, (ii) language is the root of culture, and (iii) individuals learn and develop within their role in the community.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lev Vygotsky (1898-1934) Vygotsky believed that both biological development and cultural experiences influenced children’s ability to think and learn. He said social contact was essential for intellectual development. Children should have many opportunities for social interaction to develop intellectually.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vygotsky’s theory has been used to inspire a focus on interactive and collaborative organisations of teaching and learning that encourage students to learn from social interactions with peers and with the teacher.
