Lev S. Vygotsky on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments
Upton I 16 Knowledge/thinking/Vygotsky/Upton: Vygotsky thesis: ways of thinking are transmitted to children through social interaction and are then appropriated by children. VygotskyVsPiaget: Our knowledge and understanding of the world is therefore constructed in a social context, not, as Piaget thought, by children acting on the environment alone. Vygotsky also argued that the child follows the adult’s example at first, gradually developing the ability to do tasks without help. He called the difference between what a child can do with help and what he or she can do alone the zone of proximal development (ZPD)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
