CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Some weaknesses of the sociocultural theory include: It can’t be applied to all cultures because not all cultures have social interaction. It only focuses on the interaction of people and their culture, but it doesn’t focus on other factors such as genetics or biology. It does not account for individual differences.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first limitation is related to Vygotsky’s premature death as many of his theories remained incomplete. Furthermore, his work was largely unknown until fairly recently due to political reasons and issues with translation. The second major limitation is associated with the vagueness of the ZPD.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, it could be concluded that the statement ‘It ignores the importance of language in cognitive development’ is not true about the socio-cultural theory of Vygotsky.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vygotskian theory most directly supports cooperative learning strategies that are evidenced by? Students helping one another learn. According to Piaget, the most essential component of constructivism is when? Students actively build meaningful understandings through experiences and interactions.
