Constructivism Vygotsky

• Learning occurs in three stages -

  1. What can i do alone
  2. What can i do with help
  3. What can I not yet do

  learning occurs in stage two this is known as our zone of proximal development ,here with scaffolded support from a more knowledgeable other we would eventually be able to do tasks on our own
• implications -

  • the tasks should be set within the learners zone of proximal development this is because tasks that are to easy will lead to Borden and tasks that a to difficult lead to frustration
