- Rogoff - 1. community level, 2. interpersonal level 3. personal level
- found members of the community pass on their experience and increases understanding which is effective for cognitive development
- Vygotsky and language
- language directs and controls our thinking
- children speak out loud until 7 where they internalize
- use language to organise their thinking and problem solving
- Vygotsky and education
- In Vygotsky's view, the teacher has the "task of guiding and directing the child's activity."
- peer tutoring - where the child learns through interaction through another child
- The person teaching has to be more knowledgeable
- Mixed ability groupings are essential
- In the classroom situation the more advanced child can act as tutor and since he/she is of similar age they should have a good understanding of the tutees situation and should also be working in the same ZPD.
