Vygotsky's theory of cognitive
development
- socially mediated activity - cognitive growth in which children acquire new ways of thinking by interacting
with knowledgeable members of society
- cooperative dialogues - ways in which children interact with more knowledgeable members of society
- lower mental functions - basic cognitive abilities
- higher mental functions - sophisticated cognitive abilities that
include internal, language-based mental tools
- Zone of proximal development (ZPD) - Vygotsky's term for an area that is bounded by the level of
problem-solving that a child can perform on his/ her own and the level of problem-solving that a child is
capable of given the assistance of a competent instructor
- scaffolding - temporary support while the task is being completed
- cultural tools - ways of functioning in response to the demands of the culture in which a child is raised
- social-stage - the stage of development between birth and 3 years when (according to Vygotsky)
children uses language to express simple thought and feelings
- egocentric stage - the stage of development in which (according with Vygotsky) children 3-7 years use
external speech to control their actions
- external speech - the speech produced by a child talking aloud to him/ herself which is
used by the child to direct his/ her behaviors
- inner private speech - the language that is used by a child to talk silently to him/ herself which
shows the child can shape and direct thinking
- outcome-based education (OBE) - a system of education based on the principle that all learners can be
successful, that success at one level promotes success at the next level & that schools and teachers control
the conditions for learners' success
