Lev Semenovich Vygotsky

His Theory Children learn through learning and social environment. Focused on how children transition into the world, along with private speech (self-talk which is talking to yourself, not towards a group) Also known as Sociocultural Stages: identified play as leading source of development in children. Believed development wasn’t spontaneous, went through a “plan, evaluate, memorize, and reason stages”. Making people responsible for their own behavior. Best known: social/emotional intellectual development

Our opinion We like and agree with this theory. Because it basically states that there is a point or mark called the ZPD that ranges differently for everyone depending on their social engagement. The ZPD is the area of things that a child can and cannot do on his or her own. Its problem solving.

Examples The places that you would see this in real life is mostly in grade school classrooms. When a child cannot do a problem on his or her own and needs adult or peer assistance. You can see examples of this a lot in single children as in no siblings, this would matter because if they would have no siblings then they would have no one to socially engage with for the first 5 to 6 years of their life other than parents meaning they would not have social practice. Where as if the child had siblings or even just one then he or she would have had that social practice and would be be ready for social environments.
