Teaching, Learning, Knowing — The Vygotsky View

The way we come to understand what our world is like is pretty complex.And, psychologists over the centuries have been pondering and asking this same question too.Lev Vygotsky, when he died in 1934, left behind one of the most influential theories on development: that we learn through the social context we're placed in.In this episode, Edward Thomas explores Vygotsky's theories on the Zone of Proximal Development, the More Knowledgeable Other (MKO), and how educating children has been, in part, been influenced by Vygotsky's views and works.Be sure to tune in for the next episode where I explore Jean Piaget's ideas on development and learning!If you love this podcast, show your support by rating, subscribing, and downloading!  What are your ideas on habit-formation?
