Consider the reply to the previous post on a reflection/debate forum in an Education subject.Discussion question: What is your view on Vygotsky's notion of the zone of proximal development? Can you relate it to any examples in your own life?Student 109573: I think Vygotsky's (1930) notion of proximal development is a great way to understand education and how we might better support learning. It also moves away from a very individual or cognitive notion of education towards a more social model. It also gives greater importance to the role of teachers or other experts in children's development compared to other thinkers such as Piaget (1926), where the emphasis is much more on the >individual development of the child. It is also certainly evident in my life, particularly in learning Chinese. I grew up in a large country town with almost no Chinese people in it, so I was unable to learn Chinese naturally. However my Chinese high school teacher effectively scaffolded my Chinese language learning so that I took it as subject in my university entrance exams. Without that scaffolding I would never have reached that level of use or expertise.Student 285727: I agree. Vygotsky's (1930) ZPD idea is very useful. I think of my soccer training in relation to this. My coach used to mix up the younger players with the older players so that the younger players could learn from the more experienced players.Is the discussion board entry well-written?
