IMHO natural curiosity plus ACCESS TO GOOD MATERIALS is all that's really needed. My experience was that schools were there to babysit the kids, not to teach. The more you already knew, the more of a "problem" you were ("what do I DO with him!" etc) It wasn't about learning, it was about keeping the kids busy whether what they were busy at was doing them any good or boring them to tears. The most important thing of all was that they all be treated as identical units and all be doing the same thing at the same time. ALL of kids' natural instincts DRIVE them to LEARN. For those that don't have physiological problems, when they don't it's always that adults are getting in the way of the process even if (sometimes especially if!) they are trying to help. It's the SCHOOLS that are so screwed up, not the kids!

I've just started a Psychology course in University as a mature student. I'm also a stay-at-home mum with 2 kids and psychology has always fascinated me. I really appreciate these video's. I just watched the Piaget one also. I'm finding them extremely helpful and just want to express my deep gratitude to the work you've put into them and for sharing them. My only reservation with the Vygotsky theory is that sometimes with my kids I feel like I am denying them the learnings of developing a new skill or task by showing them how to do it. Sometimes I like them to figure things out for themselves, obviously within reason (once they are safe and not distressed). And also the assumption that I am the MKO. I have learned so much from my kids. Often, leaving them work something out for themselves they end up teaching me a new way as they are approaching challenges with a beginners mind.

I agree with you. Been teacher it's always important for the children to explore on their own using their senses. Give them chance to share their ideas and to use the imagination. Looking at the two theories both are important.

LISTEN to those feelings! Because often you ARE! More often than not, ESPECIALLY with young kids, what you learn from the PROCESS of learning is far more valuable than the actual material you learn. The most important learning of all, is learning how to THINK and how to LEARN FOR YOURSELF.

There so much theory, models and concepts for learning and raising your kids, that are very important. But for some reason most parents,teacher,authority dont use it in practice. I propose/remind the soon to be parents to carefully read at least 1 (more would be better) good book about raising children. After reading do not forget to think about it and plan to implement it.

[@magalyriverarojas3597]

When we interact with others, we achieve greater appropriation of what we are thinking, and by receiving feedback from our interlocutor we expand our knowledge and points of view about our object of interest. That's why The scaffolding process from teachers to students, is definitive to achieve useful learning for them in real life.

[@LeChieffMedia]

Our interlocutor might be able to put into words a concept that we may have been thinking however unable to express through language thus establishing a stronger definition of said mental concept. Now, given new information, we can then communicate our ideas better. Great for solving mental problems we may be stuck on working out.

[@TwoToneRiotGirl]

I believe that we can benefit from both styles of learning and teaching. Children certainly can learn from social and cultural context, but also with the assistance of a more knowledgeable other. Some children require the assistance of others while some do not. Having a perfect mix of both styles can benefit both types of children.

The original "One room schoolhouse" made maximum use of pure mentoring Because there was only one teach er and many pupils at all levels , The basic approach was to have older kids help younger kids with any problems and if the older kid couldn't help them then you moved up to the next older kid. It's not only made far more efficient of the teacher, it greatly improved the depth and quality of the education. When you have to help someone with their understanding of a subject, it inevitably improves your own understanding of the subject

It is a combination of both. While each of these critical cognitive processes are normally developed at a certain age period, they are affected by social interactions either speeding up, slowing down, or even halting these developments during each stage of our lives. with this comes an almost predictable domino effect based on their development accompanied by social interactions at a very young age. it is not the student, but the teacher(s) that have a heavily weighted effect on each individual and the teacher happens to be each person we interact with.

This is soo true. Here in Pakistan, normally people(especially females) are not skillful. Because society doesn't expect anything from them. Even in my country's top Engineering University, students' learning capabilities are hampered due to their presumptions about themselves. Also, our teachers don't expect anything more than average from us. All we need is proper guidance and GOOD teachers.

[@Seaji97]

This is a fascinating theory. I do agree with Vygotsky, although, In my opinion, I believe The Zone of Proximal Developmental would be much more effective with Piaget's theory of cognitive development taken into consideration. As a Child's cognitive ability further develops, they will be able to apprehend more complex teachings from the "more knowledgable other". I believe that both Vygotsky's and Piaget's theory coincide perfectly and should both be put into practice simultaneously.

[@drewg4323]

They are...to an extent. The part you're missing is Piaget is widely criticized for (among several other things) his stages applying largely to Western cultures and traditional upbringings. They, though relatively applicable to everyone, are not universal to all. Vygotsky's theory takes into consideration different cultures 'and' upbringings, and thus includes a broader explanation for why we turn out the way we do So, both are applied, but Piaget's is more like a specific framework for Western cultures within Vygotsky's greater theory. If Vygotsky and Piaget had access to all the research we've done since their deaths, they would no doubt agree.

[@jimbarron9939]

I learned how to read thru an entirely subconscious process. Each week I could by three comic books with my allowance and I allowed my two years older brother to choose one of the ones I bought in return for him reading all six to me out loud. I was not consciously paying any attention to the text, only following the action in the graphics. It undoubtedly helped that many of the balloons only contained single words and I did know that one string of letters corresponded to one word. I never tried to follow the text. One day I tried to turn the page before he was finished reading and I realized I didn't need him any more. I always when tested had an extremely high reading speed and suspect that's because I learned to read without ever myself trying to sound out the words. I spent the summer before first grade in a summer kindergarten and somehow got mixed in with kids two years older. I was too small to get a share of the toys but there was a cabinet full of workbooks for reading, arithmetic etc. With no help from anyone at all, just by knowing how to read I went thru many of them and by the end of the summer was at 3'rd or forth grade level and far above that in math ALL without any help whatsoever other than the workbooks themselves. Everything that teachers thought they were "teaching" me was always something I already knew and they would get exceedingly upset when they discovered that I wasn't just being "difficult", and actually really did already know it. MOST people may learn most things by interacting with others (whether adults or peers) but it is not remotely the ONLY way to learn. SOME kids learn IN SPITE OF what adults are doing instead of because of it. I don't know whether it's a result of the way I did this early learning or the driving force behind me doing it, but I have always been a completely independent thinker. (this was a major problem growing up in the deep South where so much of what adults did and thought was very obviously WRONG.) Any person who thinks that even very small children can only learn from others has, at the very least, very poor observational skills. The more I was left alone, the faster I learned.

[@jennywhite285]

Have you had you IQ tested?

[@jimbarron9939]

IQ tests are very crude measure and really the questions are only correlated with rather than directly related to actual intelligence. In addition they can be affected by many things other than intelligence - for example many questions in the past had strong cultural bias and discriminated against social groups that had not had prior exposure to the background. In addition tests are directed at intended groups who scores were expected to be within a certain range. It would be very few questions of so difficult that no one inside of that range could answer it. Consequently The score received by all questions correctly (or nearly all because everyone makes occasional errors just to the carelessness - especially those who are being excruciatingly bored by the entire procedure) only indicates The lowest potential value of actual ability. I was tested in the first grade because I was so disruptive and uncooperative that they decided that maybe the problem might be just mental disability. It started when we were handed the paper to fill out of"math" problems with sets of graphics instead of numbers! They were separated by plus and minus signs followed by an equal sign and we were supposed to DRAW The correct number of figures after the equal sign. I had already taught myself addition, subtraction division multiplication and calculation of square roots and cube roots in kindergarten! The room was used for 6th grade and above math classes during the year and they were workbooks and cabinets on the wall. I found the workbooks far more interesting than the toys - I had toys at home but nothing remotely like the workbooks. So this"math" worksheet was SO insulting and crashingly boring. So instead of drawing out all the individual figures as who were supposed to I would put one lollipop or square or triangle or whatever and the number that represented the correct answer. I thought the teacher would be pleased to see that I already knew the material. Instead she was very upset and angry because I was not "following the material" and made me redo it " correctly" I drawing out the correct number of individual figures. I was in a real hurry to get outside and it was SO mindlessly and gratuitously repetitive. So I just dashed it all off as fast as I could with really really sloppy triangle squares and whatever's. She got very angry about that and insisted that I do it all again very very neatly After that I pretty much lost it and started doing everything as rapidly as physically possible and very sloppily as an expression of my extreme anger at the whole procedure. It was after that that they decided, in part because my writing was so sloppy, that I must have mental problems and so they had me tested. At the end of it I asked the tester what I had scored And what I later realized was an exceedingly rare display of honesty instead of rattling off a figure he stated that he didn't really know because I hadn't missed any questions and he'd only brought up to the fifth grade level with him. He said he'd come back with a higher level test. But he didn't because my school had a policy against jump promotions because they "hurt social development" so what would have been the point? That was before Sputnik. I was ENORMOUSLY grateful to the Soviet Union when that happened because suddenly schools became interested in actually helping kids like me instead of treating them like problems. Unfortunately I was sidetracked from all that for socioeconomic political reasons I never found anywhere in the United States that valued actual intelligence so much that they were willing to disregard The usual screening for political acceptability Taking down the Confederate flag from in front of your all white boarding high school in Birmingham while Bull Connor was turning fire hoses and police dogs on non-violent demonstrators pretty much killed off educational prospects. Decades later listing Rachel Carson and Rosa Parks as your heroes on an"interest" sheet that was, of course a honey pot, killed off your first attempt at a science degree. A decade after that asking a question that revealed grossly inadequate safety betting of a poster child biotech product being presented on a day that was ostensibly for Open discussion of safety concerns got all your course work for the entire semester regraded and downgraded two letter grades, and access to co-ops removed. (This is one of the major reasons why industry so consistently turns out"solutions" that only exacerbate or add new problems) Sorry for the rant. I think you hit a sore point somewhere

While some introverts are shy, and indeed I was and still can be, introverts do not, by definition, dislike being around other people. Rather it is a matter of where we get our energy from. Unlike extroverts, who thrive and get a a charge from being around others- the more the merrier- introverts can deal with others, even with large groups, but need alone time to recharge, as gatherings tend to drain us of our energy.

[@shevanz1589]

my personal opinion is that proximal learning and the knowledge passed down through our mentors determins the advancement of our society. If we got a human from say 10 000 years ago today and put them in school with every other child and raised them as one of our own, chances are that they would turn out like everyone else in the same way that if we take someone from today and raise them 1000 years from now im sure they would look like the smartest person in comparison to today and its got nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with proximal development. Im sure there are giant holes in that thought experiment but you get the idea.

Indeed we all learn from our environment. Children mimic what they see their peers or adults do and this is mainly how they learn.

If she never saw someone using a cellphone I don't think a memory would be there for her to recall and know that this block looks like the cellphone she sees us using.

Conversations with others may be okay, but I think I can get essentially the same experience from writing things out.

Other people tend to cause me to feel awkward and self-conscious, so talking with them doesn't achieve much of anything for me. I do however agree that the early expectations of others regarding your potential are incredibly influential. For instance my dad didn't believe that girls should use tools and didn't allow me to learn about them (or maybe he was just trying to keep everyone out of his shop so he could keep drinking there...). I never really learned to use tools or related subject matter, which really pisses me off to this very day.

Great video and the cartoons are a great visual. 1. We do learn through Social and cultural contexts eg a child in Kenya will learn Kiswahili as opposed to one in Spain who will learn Spanish as first language. They will also interact with different environments , for example one may be exposed to technology and gadgets while the other will be rich in exposure to flora and fauna. however both of them must develop cognitive skills that allow them to interact with culture and society. 2. To a great extend the more knowledgeable other has a role in determining what a child should learn. If it is a teacher, she/he is the one more knowledgeable in curriculum requirements and standards not known to the child. The teacher will also ensure that what the child learns is wholesome and balanced to develop multiple skills in the child. However the teacher should let the child explore further if they are so inclined and provide resources for the child to extent themselves further. The teacher should not load their own bias or limitations onto the child. For parents and older siblings, they are aware of for example the cultural norms, values, traditions which the child may not be aware of. Therefore as the more knowledgeable others, they should guide the child's learning as well as provide scaffolding as the child gradually gains independence.

[@ReddenDoom]

I'm not sure what learning only in social and cultural contexts has to do with the appropriateness of deciding what a child learns next (end of video question) but this has been decided for children for ages. C.S. Lewis provides a great criticism for it in "The Abolition of Man" which also criticizes some of the perspectives of Piaget that limit information right out of the gate.

Exactly how do you apply it to adults organizing?

[@tjgipson7045]

​@@fanicara3837 You need to insert a "more knowledgable other" into the mix, it is a mentor-protege relationship. Consult the literature, ZPD is documented successfully used among adults. And why not since most adults are more educated overgrown children.

[@elizanikolaou3792]

Truth must always be in the middle. I belive we should try to teach toddlers everything... until they are ready to learn it. And we can not determine if it is too soon for a kid to learn something. However we can tell when it is too late... when a kid Should have done something by the stage he is at. And explore the reason he o she stayed behind.

Very nice ❤ useful to know about children's mentally concepts

[@maikepepapoto9941]

I'm here because it is one of our topic in my Course

[@ellaumoye343]

I'm a bit ambivalent about "knowledgable others" deciding what a child should learn next because it limits free thinking and free will in a sense. But at the same time, the Zone of Proximal Development is probably wiser in identifying a child's strengths or weakness than the child themself at that age. One question I have is, what's the difference between learning and development? Is development in the context of Vygotsky's theory referring to age and bodily changes?

[@bhavyavv7593]

I had this doubt all the while raising my kid. Tq. Very good info

[@katherinekelly6432]

A child can learn anything regardless of any developmental prerequisites "IF" they are curious about what they are learning. If it appears to be fun and exciting, you can teach a child calculus. The fault is not in the child but the teacher who does not know how to present learning opportunities in ways that appeal to the child. If humanity would change how they teach children than humanity would completely transform the world as we know it. Unfortunately, teaching is more about molding children into ideological conformists to prepare them for factories. The way children are taught destroys the child's desire to learn. It is monstrous what is done to children.

I see the logic in the gentleman's theory, however, I have met (and at times been one) who has taken it upon themself to learn improve. I use the maxim 'learn to learn' and have always encouraged others to do the same. There can be some dead ends, deviations and/or changes to original concept/quest, but that is life. I was taught by my parents, if you don't know ask, if you are teased at school because you don't know, take the initial hit of embarrassment and learn. Many a time, when called out the teaser didn't know either.

[@holdyourhorses7658]

Vygotsky claimed that the help of Knowledgeable Others can improve and help a child's potential. Obviously some children don't get the support they should and are forced to learn on their own, and if we look at the example shown in the video it shows that the girl will develop but not at the same rate as the boy. An extreme example that I can think of that supports Vygotsky's theory is the case of Genie the feral child, who was kept restrained in a locked room for the majority of her first 13 years of life. Her dad forbade interacting with her and as a result she wasn't exposed to a significant amount of speech and she didn't acquire language in her childhood. You should read about her, it's a very sad but interesting case.

lots of critique is approriate pointing out Piaget's universality as individualistic and eurocentric, since he did most of his tests on children from Switzerland and France, and his own children. Vygotsky very appropriately changed those ideas to a wider world

[@RiyaRozaki-og3qn]

I'm pretty sure that we can get benefit from both styles of teaching and learning. We must understand that children have more abilities than we think. Children can learn from social and cultural context, but they need assistance of knowledgable other. Maybe Some children require the assistance while others do not. Having a perfect mix of both styles can benefit both types of children.

it is the best KZbin video on vygotsky learning theory

[@sprouts]

Thanks! Join us ;)

[@danydefadlan6947]

This theory highlights the importance of scaffolding, where support is gradually removed as learners gain competence. Vygotsky's focus on language and dialogue as key tools in learning contrasts with more solitary, individual-centered views of development, such as Piaget's.

[@anshumandas6186]

Is possible through Vygotsky theory . Great experience given by Sprouts

I believe it is important to wait until the child is ready to explore the world through language play and communication. By giving the child an acceptance to make an argument it creates a debate between the child and its parents which also gives the child a much faster mental and emotional development, in that they have to be able to solve a problem before getting what they want. ex "I want candy before dinner." The child will be asked why, and come up with a solid explanation why. or "I want to walk alone down to my friend" who lives one mile away. Again the child has to argue why they believe it is a good idea. This not just develop the balance between the left and right side of the brain, but also creates a bigger verbal skill set from a very young age.

[@itsybitsy8385]

inner speech develops from external speech by a gradual process of internalization

[@cperry4739]

This is true, cause I have to re-learn everything I was supposed to as a child. Feels like my life is a lie

[@heidimerrin3707]

Interesting. Yet when I learned Norwegian at the age of 17/18 (as I had moved there), I HAD to THINK in Norwegian BEFORE I became fluent in Norwegian. IF I thought in English, my ability to SPEAK Norwegian plummeted

."Zone of proximal development' is(1) the area between a child's current level of independent performance and the level of performance that the child could achieve with the help of adults and more skilled peers. (2) a range of tasks that the child should be able to do as per her age but cannot.(3) the process where two individuals who begin with different understandings arrive at a shared understanding. (4) the process in which children learn to perform tasks as set by the elder members in a society. Iska kya answer hoga

[@v.dargain1678]

Imitation is much more than just a sincere form of flattery . Vygotsky's theory proved it . And furthermore settling for mediocrity ( which the little girl did not do ) is not necessarily bliss . Good video thanks for uploading !
