CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development includes the key concept of internalisation. He argued that children internalise knowledge as part of a gradual process, essentially through the social interactions with others, and particularly between adults and children.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vygotsky concentrated more on children’s immediate social and cultural environment and their interactions with adults and peers. He argued that cognitive development occurred first through children’s immediate social interactions, and then moved to the individual level as they began to internalise their learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -He suggested that learning takes place through the interactions students have with their peers, teachers, and other experts. Consequently, teachers can create a learning environment that maximizes the learner’s ability to interact with each other through discussion, collaboration, and feedback.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
