CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Vygotsky’s social development theory asserts that a child’s cognitive development and learning ability can be guided and mediated by their social interactions. His theory (also called Vygotsky’s Sociocultural theory) states that learning is a crucially social process as opposed to an independent journey of discovery.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934) His sociocultural theory declares that social interaction within the family and with knowledgeable members of the community is the primary means by which children acquire behaviours and cognitive processes relevant to their own society.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vygotsky was a key figure in Soviet Psychology who studied children and developed his own theories about how learning occurs. He believed that learning happens in three different stages: cognitive, motoric, and sociocultural.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
