Vygotskystä

Vygotskystä refers to the ideas and theories of Lev Vygotsky, a Soviet psychologist. His work primarily focused on child development, emphasizing the crucial role of social interaction and cultural context in cognitive growth. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory posits that learning is a collaborative process. He introduced the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), which is the difference between what a learner can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance from a more knowledgeable other, such as a parent, teacher, or peer. This guidance, often referred to as scaffolding, helps learners to internalize skills and knowledge. Vygotsky also highlighted the importance of language as a tool for thought and communication. He believed that internal speech, or self-talk, develops from external social speech and plays a vital role in regulating behavior and solving problems. His ideas have had a significant impact on educational practices, advocating for cooperative learning and culturally relevant pedagogy.
