Examine Vygosky's social development theory stating its three basics principles and how the theory
can be applied to classroom learning

Answers

Social interaction:
It emphasizes upon interaction between the learner and others.
-Language:
Gives high priority to use of language in the process of intellectual development and involves dialogue with a more knowledgeable other (MKO)

-The zone of proximal development:
This is the space between student's ability to solve a problem independently and level they can achieve with the help of an MKO.
The role of the teacher is to help the learner to move across this space.

Implementations
I. Use the zone of proximal development.
This means lessons should be planned in such a way that aims to move the pupils forward across the ZPD.
II. Plan lessons to include social interaction and activity. Teacher and students should work together rather than as individuals.
III. Use scaffolding at appropriate levels. Give assistance depending on the level of understanding that the learner has reached.
IV. Use more skilled peers as teachers. Students benefit from support offered by more skilled students.
