Learning experience for "Seminar in English Language Teaching."
Today in the classroom, teacher showed the content on power point about Sociocultural Theory.
Sociocultural Theory
- Central to Sociocultural Theory is the view that children do not learn in isolation rather than learning occurs when a child interacts with other people invarious social and cultural environments. (Mercer, 1994)
Tenet
- Sociocultural Theory views human learning and cognitive development as socially and culturally mediated, communicative processes.
Vygosky's view
- According to Vygotsky, learning is seen as the development of cognitive or mental functions. Later, the child appropriates or takes over knowledge that she learners from experts, and becomes able to perform such tasks and other similar tasks independently. In this transition, the child and expert(s) engage in a dialogic process, where the expert directs or instructs the child how to perform a task, and the child provides feedback to the expert.
Key notions
- Zone of proximal Development (2PD)
- Scaffording
- Vygotsky defines the concept of the 'zone of proximal development' (ZPD) as follow:
ZPD: He asserted that:
What is in the Zone of proximal development today will be:
- A distinction between the child's actual and potential levels of development:
Actual development level describes a child's mental ability to perform certain tasks independently.
- The notion of ZPD, Instruction, according to Vykotsky, is only useful when it is ahead of development and encourages. (Mercer (1994)
ZPD: Zone of Prozimal Development
Finally, I think I can bring the knowledge apply to use in daily life is correctly and effectively.
