This document summarizes Lev Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development. It discusses five of Vygotsky's main assumptions: (1) complex mental processes begin socially and are gradually internalized; (2) thought and language develop independently before age 2 then become interdependent; (3) adults convey cultural ways of understanding the world to children; (4) children can perform more challenging tasks with assistance; and (5) challenging tasks promote maximum growth. The document also discusses contemporary applications of Vygotsky's ideas like scaffolding, guided participation, apprenticeships, and peer interaction.
“The Mozart of Psychology”
Lev Semonovich Vygotsky was born in Western Russia on November 5, 1986.His father, Semi L’vovich, founded the “Society of Education in Gomel”, and held a wide range of active interest including foreign language, history, literature, theater and arts. His mother was educated as teacher.
In 1917, he graduated from Moscow University with a degree in Law.
Vygotsky completed 270 scientific articles,numerous,lectures and 10 books based on a wide range of Marxist-based psychological and teaching theories.
He is considered a seminal thinker in psychology, and much of his work is still discovered and explored today.
He died on June 10, 1934 at 37 after long battle with TB.

Social constructivism focuses on the collaborative nature of learning. Knowledge develops from how people interact with each other, their culture, and society at large. Students rely on others to help create their building blocks, and learning from others helps them construct their own knowledge and reality. Social constructivism, a social learning theory developed by Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, posits that individuals are active participants in the creation of their own knowledge. While social constructionism focuses on the artifacts that are created through the social interactions of a group, social constructivism focuses on an individual's learning that takes place because of his or her interactions in a group. A very simple example is an object like a cup. Cognitive constructivism comes from the work of Jean Piaget and his research on cognitive development in children. Social. Social constructivism focuses on the collaborative nature of learning. Knowledge develops from how people interact with each other, their culture, and society at large. This is the Theory proposed by Piaget and Vygotsky.

The work of Lev Vygotsky (1934) has become the foundation of much research and theory in cognitive development over the past several decades specially in Social Development Theory.
Vygotsky's theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition , as he believed strongly that community plays a central role in the process of "making meaning."
He believed that Social Learning tends to precede development unlike Piaget's notion that childrens' development must necessarily precede their learning.
He argued, "learning is a necessary and universal aspect of the process of developing culturally organized, specifically human psychological function" (1978, p. 90).
Vygotsky has developed a socio cultural approach to cognitive development.
His theories are incomplete due to death at an early age of 38.
Some of his writings are still being translated from Russian.
Every function in the child’s cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological). This applies equally to voluntary attention, to logical memory, and to the formation of concepts. All the higher functions originate as actual relationships between individuals. (Vygotsky, 1978, p.57)
“the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers.”

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Lev Vygotsky
Born in Orsha, a part of the Russian
Empire (now known as Belarus) on 17th
November 1896 and died at the very
young age of 37 in 1934 from
Tuberculosis
A pioneer of psychology; His extensive
research into cognitive development
has lead his theory to be one of the
most important of it’s kind.
His main work was translated to English
in 1962 and it had a major impact on
other psychological research in similar
fields.
3. Vygotsky believed that the adults in a society
foster children’s cognitive development in an
intentional and somewhat systematic manner.
Adult
Child

5. communicated by either psychological (language, number, art) or
technical (books, calculator) means.
Language is the most important tool for gaining social knowledge;
the child can be taught this from other people via language.
Intelligence -“the capacity to learn from instruction”
THINKING
SOCIAL
KNOWLEDGE

MORE
KNOWLEDGEABLE
OTHER (MKO)
7. 1. Complex mental
processes begin
as social activities;
as children
develop, they
gradually
internalize these
processes and
begin to use them
independently.
8. Show students
how you think as
you deal with
academic tasks.
Children first talk about objects and events
with adults and other knowledgeable
individuals; in the process, they discover
how the people around them think about
those objects and events.
Dialogue -> COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
INTERNALIZATION - the process through
which social activities evolve into mental
activities.
9. 2. Thought and
language initially
develop
independently of
each other; the two
become
interdependent
when children are
about two years
old.
10. Encourage students
to talk themselves
through new and
difficult tasks.
Infants and young toddlers -
Thought and language are
separate functions. When
language appears, it is first
used primarily as a means
of communication rather
than a mechanism of
thought.
Sometime around age two -
thought and language
become intertwined:
Children begin to express
their thoughts when they
speak, and they begin to
think in terms of words.
By talking to themselves, children
learn to guide and direct their own
behaviors through difficult tasks
and complex maneuvers in much
the same way that adults have
previously guided them.
SELF-TALK
INNER SPEECH
13. Show students how
various academic
disciplines
conceptualize the
world.
Adults share with children the
language of their culture, including
the specific concepts and
terminology used in various
academic disciplines.
Although Vygotsky, like Piaget, saw
value in allowing children to make
some discoveries themselves, he
also saw value in having adults
describe the discoveries of
previous generations.
14. 4. Children can perform
more challenging
tasks when assisted
by more advanced
and competent
individuals.
15. Children’s two kinds of abilities
that they likely to have at any
particular point in their
development:
Children can typically do
more difficult things in
collaboration with adults
than they can do on their
own.
ACTUAL DEVELOPMENTAL LEVEL
LEVEL OF POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
17. Have students
collaborate with adults
or other students when
they work on
particularly challenging
assignments.
Zone of proximal development
(ZPD) - the range of tasks that
children cannot yet perform
independently, but can perform
with the help and guidance of
others.
Includes learning and problem-
solving abilities that are just
beginning to develop within a
child – abilities that are in an
immature, “embryonic” form.
Naturally, any child’s ZPD will
change over time, as some
tasks are mastered, other more
complex ones will appear to
provide more challenges.
21. Scaffolding
Adults and other more
competent individuals provide
some form of guidance or
structure that enables students
to perform tasks that are in
their zone of proximal
development.
22. Example:
Woods and Middleton (1975) studied the influence of instruction with
their experiment. They provided 3-4 year olds with a puzzle which was
beyond their comprehension on their own. The mother then provided
different levels of assistance for the child:
L1 – General verbal instruction (“Very good! Now try that again.”)
L2 – Specific verbal instruction (“Get four big blocks”)
L3 – Mother indicates material (“You need this block here”)
L4 – Mother provides material and prepares it for assembly
L5 – Mother demonstrates the operation
23. Guided Participation
Giving students the
assistance they need
as they perform
adult-like activities
Engage students in
realistic adult tasks,
giving them the
guidance they need
to be successful.
24. Apprenticeships
A learner works intensively with an expert to
accomplish complex tasks that he or she
could never do independently.
The expert provides considerable structure
and guidance throughout the process,
gradually removing scaffolding and giving the
learner more responsibility as competence
increases.
Cognitive Apprenticeship – a student learns
not only how to perform a task but also how
to think about a task.
Encourage the
thought processes
that experts use
when they engage
in a complex task.
25. Peer Interaction
Working together rather than working
alone; providing scaffolding for one
another’s efforts; interactive approach

development-lev-vygotsky/
Foster = to help develop
Vygotsky believed that the adults in a society foster children’s cognitive development in an intentional and somewhat systematic manner. They continually engage children in meaningful and challenging activities and help them perform those activities successfully.
His theory is sometimes referred to as the sociocultural perspective because he emphasized the importance of society and culture for promoting cognitive growth.
He believed that children’s thinking is affected by their social knowledge, which are communicated by either psychological (language, number, art) or technical (books, calculator) means.
Language is the most important tool for gaining social knowledge; the child can be taught this from other people via language. He defined intelligence as “the capacity to learn from instruction”, which emphasises the fact there is a requirement for a more knowledgable other person or ‘teacher’. He referred to them as just that: the More Knowledgable Other (MKO). MKO’s can be parents, adults, teachers, coaches, experts/professionals – but also things you might not first expect, such as children, friends and computers.
Complex mental processes begin as social activities; as children develop, they gradually internalize these processes and begin to use them independently.
Many thinking processes have their roots in social interactions. Children first talk about objects and events with adults and other knowledgeable individuals; in the process, they discover how the people around them think about those objects and events.
Dialogue with others is an essential condition for promoting cognitive development.
The process through which social activities evolve into mental activities is called internalization.
Mental processes also develop as children interact with their peers.

But sometime around age two, thought and language become intertwined: Children begin to express their thoughts when they speak, and they begin to think in terms of words.
Self-talk – Children talk to themselves out loud.
Inner speech – Children “talk” to themselves mentally rather than orally.
Purpose of self-talk and inner speech: By talking to themselves, children learn to guide and direct their own behaviors through difficult tasks and complex maneuvers in much the same way that adults have previously guided them.
Self-talk and inner speech, then, are examples of the internalization process.
Gradually, self-talk is used more as a tool for self-directed and self-regulating behavior. Because speaking has been appropriated and internalized, self-talk is no longer present around the time the child starts school. Self-talk "develops along a rising not a declining, curve; it goes through an evolution, not an involution. In the end, it becomes inner speech"
3. Through both informal conversations and formal schooling, adults convey to children the ways in which their culture interprets the world.
Adults share with children the language of their culture, including the specific concepts and terminology used in various academic disciplines.
Although Vygotsky, like Piaget, saw value in allowing children to make some discoveries themselves, he also saw value in having adults describe the discoveries of previous generations.
There are two levels of attainment for the ZPD:
Zone of proximal development (ZPD) - the range of tasks that children cannot yet perform independently, but can perform with the help and guidance of others; includes learning and problem-solving abilities that are just beginning to develop within a child – abilities that are in an immature, “embryonic” form.
Naturally, any child’s ZPD will change over time; as some tasks are mastered, other more complex ones will appear to provide more challenges.
It is the challenges in life – not the easy successes – that promote cognitive development.
A scaffold is an external structure that provides support for the workers (a place where they can stand) until the building itself is strong enough to support them. As the building gains stability, the scaffold becomes less necessary and is gradually removed.
After the session, the child was assessed on whether they could construct the pyramid on their own. Results showed that when children were given varied support from mothers (low levels of support when the child was doing well, and high levels when the child struggled) they were able to construct the pyramid on their own. However, when the mother consistently provided the same support, they seemed to make the child conclude the activity was beyond their comprehension and the child soon lost interest in constructing the pyramid. This shows the importance of providing the correct level of scaffolding when teaching a learner
Adults and other more competent individuals provide some form of guidance or structure that enables students to perform tasks that are in their zone of proximal development.

The Woods & Middleton (1975) pyramid puzzle.
As a final point, Vygotsky looked at the role of egocentric/private speech. This is, for example, when a child will sit on their own and speak their thoughts out loud as they play. He suggested a child is regulating and planning their behaviour at this point: “Where is the block? I can’t find it. Oh well, I’ll use this block.” He called these ‘monologues’.
By 7 years, these monologues become internalised and the child becomes a “verbal thinker”, which is what most adults can do with no problem. When we are faced with a problem, and we’re alone, we quite often think through the problem – but in our heads. Children before 7 will do this out loud. This verbal thinking forms the basis for higher level, more abstract thinking (planning, reasoning, memorising, evaluating).
Giving students the assistance they need as they perform adult-like activities
A learner works intensively with an expert to accomplish complex tasks that he or she could never do independently.
The expert provides considerable structure and guidance throughout the process, gradually removing scaffolding and giving the learner more responsibility as competence increases.
