I've just started a Psychology course in University as a mature student. I'm also a stay-at-home mum with 2 kids and psychology has always fascinated me. I really appreciate these video's. I just watched the Piaget one also. I'm finding them extremely helpful and just want to express my deep gratitude to the work you've put into them and for sharing them. My only reservation with the Vygotsky theory is that sometimes with my kids I feel like I am denying them the learnings of developing a new skill or task by showing them how to do it. Sometimes I like them to figure things out for themselves, obviously within reason (once they are safe and not distressed). And also the assumption that I am the MKO. I have learned so much from my kids. Often, leaving them work something out for themselves they end up teaching me a new way as they are approaching challenges with a beginners mind. With a deep bow of gratitude - Sarah-Jane
I agree with you. Been teacher it's always important for the children to explore on their own using their senses. Give them chance to share their ideas and to use the imagination. Looking at the two theories both are important.
LISTEN to those feelings! Because often you ARE! More often than not, ESPECIALLY with young kids, what you learn from the PROCESS of learning is far more valuable than the actual material you learn. The most important learning of all, is learning how to THINK and how to LEARN FOR YOURSELF.
It is a very useful concept for teachers and parents.... especially for parents who think their children are not smart enough according to there age.. those children just need some care and attention
IMHO natural curiosity plus ACCESS TO GOOD MATERIALS is all that's really needed. My experience was that schools were there to babysit the kids, not to teach. The more you already knew, the more of a "problem" you were ("what do I DO with him!" etc) It wasn't about learning, it was about keeping the kids busy whether what they were busy at was doing them any good or boring them to tears. The most important thing of all was that they all be treated as identical units and all be doing the same thing at the same time. ALL of kids' natural instincts DRIVE them to LEARN. For those that don't have physiological problems, when they don't it's always that adults are getting in the way of the process even if (sometimes especially if!) they are trying to help. It's the SCHOOLS that are so screwed up, not the kids!
I always appreciate the discussion time during the lectures at my college because there I got the feeling of achieving a greater appropriation of what we are thinking. Conversations with others help a person to make ideas clear and led them to expand the concept.
There so much theory, models and concepts for learning and raising your kids, that are very important. But for some reason most parents,teacher,authority dont use it in practice. I propose/remind the soon to be parents to carefully read at least 1 (more would be better) good book about raising children. After reading do not forget to think about it and plan to implement it.
Great. I was studying these cognitive development theories by reading study materials and was really falling asleep. But as soon as I started to watch your cartoons I realy got awaikend. I beleive this is a great way to present knowledge. Respect!

When we interact with others, we achieve greater appropriation of what we are thinking, and by receiving feedback from our interlocutor we expand our knowledge and points of view about our object of interest. That's why The scaffolding process from teachers to students, is definitive to achieve useful learning for them in real life.
Our interlocutor might be able to put into words a concept that we may have been thinking however unable to express through language thus establishing a stronger definition of said mental concept. Now, given new information, we can then communicate our ideas better. Great for solving mental problems we may be stuck on working out.
I believe that we can benefit from both styles of learning and teaching. Children certainly can learn from social and cultural context, but also with the assistance of a more knowledgeable other. Some children require the assistance of others while some do not. Having a perfect mix of both styles can benefit both types of children.
yes, most people who study educational psychology agree that all views on knowledge have pros/cons and you should use a mixture of them. Also, that teachers have to adapt to every classroom and individual
The original "One room schoolhouse" made maximum use of pure mentoring Because there was only one teach er and many pupils at all levels , The basic approach was to have older kids help younger kids with any problems and if the older kid couldn't help them then you moved up to the next older kid. It's not only made far more efficient of the teacher, it greatly improved the depth and quality of the education. When you have to help someone with their understanding of a subject, it inevitably improves your own understanding of the subject
Social interaction is the natural learning that every child needs to learn. It is an independent source where many elements they can experience with internal and external development. For motor development is also encouraging by social interaction and self experimenting.
I am brazilian and your videos are very helpful for me cause the way wich you pronnounce the words are easy to me understand and learn english. Thank you guys
This is soo true. Here in Pakistan, normally people(especially females) are not skillful. Because society doesn't expect anything from them. Even in my country's top Engineering University, students' learning capabilities are hampered due to their presumptions about themselves. Also, our teachers don't expect anything more than average from us. All we need is proper guidance and GOOD teachers.
It is a combination of both. While each of these critical cognitive processes are normally developed at a certain age period, they are affected by social interactions either speeding up, slowing down, or even halting these developments during each stage of our lives. with this comes an almost predictable domino effect based on their development accompanied by social interactions at a very young age. it is not the student, but the teacher(s) that have a heavily weighted effect on each individual and the teacher happens to be each person we interact with.
Both learning by interest and with the help of more knowledgable other are important because learning if not made interesting and challengable becomes boring and makes us give up!
When you're a child you learn because you want to discover everything but also I think that the feed back plays a more important role, kinda every child is super curious and very smart, the development then highly depends on the feedback.
We must understand that kids have more abilities than we think. Environment, respect, letting them share and express their ideas are the tools to mentor the students
but they are not grown adults- their development is not complete. Also many grown adults are not mentally and emotionally developed as they might be expected to be for their age. This can happen for any number of reasons. Would you ask a child if they would like to drink alcohol? Would you ask an adult alcoholic the same question?
@@annaworthington9522 Somewhere out there a teen grew up with an alcoholic parent and chose to not drink from the experience of growing up in that situation.
So true, how development is based on coaching, not necessarily on age. My daughter was reading by age 2 and algebra by age 4, currently age 10 going into 8th grade, taking 3 high school classes! I coached her from conception, more vigorously from age 1 and 2. She is a brain and a hard worker, but consistent coaching most definitely played a major factor.
A knowledgable elder always has the role of a guide in the mental development of a child . So the Environment, language, location , Society, Sorrounding , Economic conditions play a major role in the development of a child. The Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation also has a greater role to play.
This is a fascinating theory. I do agree with Vygotsky, although, In my opinion, I believe The Zone of Proximal Developmental would be much more effective with Piaget's theory of cognitive development taken into consideration. As a Child's cognitive ability further develops, they will be able to apprehend more complex teachings from the "more knowledgable other". I believe that both Vygotsky's and Piaget's theory coincide perfectly and should both be put into practice simultaneously.
There is A LOT of works that is not translated into english. We (in Russia) could even develop deaf - blind children, but there is no use of it because of politicians. Our scientists seriously developed his theory, but again, thx to Vladimir Putin and his friends we cant properly cooperate with our foreign colleagues from 2014.
They are...to an extent. The part you're missing is Piaget is widely criticized for (among several other things) his stages applying largely to Western cultures and traditional upbringings. They, though relatively applicable to everyone, are not universal to all. Vygotsky's theory takes into consideration different cultures 'and' upbringings, and thus includes a broader explanation for why we turn out the way we do So, both are applied, but Piaget's is more like a specific framework for Western cultures within Vygotsky's greater theory. If Vygotsky and Piaget had access to all the research we've done since their deaths, they would no doubt agree.

I learned how to read thru an entirely subconscious process. Each week I could by three comic books with my allowance and I allowed my two years older brother to choose one of the ones I bought in return for him reading all six to me out loud. I was not consciously paying any attention to the text, only following the action in the graphics. It undoubtedly helped that many of the balloons only contained single words and I did know that one string of letters corresponded to one word. I never tried to follow the text. One day I tried to turn the page before he was finished reading and I realized I didn't need him any more. I always when tested had an extremely high reading speed and suspect that's because I learned to read without ever myself trying to sound out the words. I spent the summer before first grade in a summer kindergarten and somehow got mixed in with kids two years older. I was too small to get a share of the toys but there was a cabinet full of workbooks for reading, arithmetic etc. With no help from anyone at all, just by knowing how to read I went thru many of them and by the end of the summer was at 3'rd or forth grade level and far above that in math ALL without any help whatsoever other than the workbooks themselves. Everything that teachers thought they were "teaching" me was always something I already knew and they would get exceedingly upset when they discovered that I wasn't just being "difficult", and actually really did already know it. MOST people may learn most things by interacting with others (whether adults or peers) but it is not remotely the ONLY way to learn. SOME kids learn IN SPITE OF what adults are doing instead of because of it. I don't know whether it's a result of the way I did this early learning or the driving force behind me doing it, but I have always been a completely independent thinker. (this was a major problem growing up in the deep South where so much of what adults did and thought was very obviously WRONG.) Any person who thinks that even very small children can only learn from others has, at the very least, very poor observational skills. The more I was left alone, the faster I learned.
IQ tests are very crude measure and really the questions are only correlated with rather than directly related to actual intelligence. In addition they can be affected by many things other than intelligence - for example many questions in the past had strong cultural bias and discriminated against social groups that had not had prior exposure to the background. In addition tests are directed at intended groups who scores were expected to be within a certain range. It would be very few questions of so difficult that no one inside of that range could answer it. Consequently The score received by all questions correctly (or nearly all because everyone makes occasional errors just to the carelessness - especially those who are being excruciatingly bored by the entire procedure) only indicates The lowest potential value of actual ability. I was tested in the first grade because I was so disruptive and uncooperative that they decided that maybe the problem might be just mental disability. It started when we were handed the paper to fill out of"math" problems with sets of graphics instead of numbers! They were separated by plus and minus signs followed by an equal sign and we were supposed to DRAW The correct number of figures after the equal sign. I had already taught myself addition, subtraction division multiplication and calculation of square roots and cube roots in kindergarten! The room was used for 6th grade and above math classes during the year and they were workbooks and cabinets on the wall. I found the workbooks far more interesting than the toys - I had toys at home but nothing remotely like the workbooks. So this"math" worksheet was SO insulting and crashingly boring. So instead of drawing out all the individual figures as who were supposed to I would put one lollipop or square or triangle or whatever and the number that represented the correct answer. I thought the teacher would be pleased to see that I already knew the material. Instead she was very upset and angry because I was not "following the material" and made me redo it " correctly" I drawing out the correct number of individual figures. I was in a real hurry to get outside and it was SO mindlessly and gratuitously repetitive. So I just dashed it all off as fast as I could with really really sloppy triangle squares and whatever's. She got very angry about that and insisted that I do it all again very very neatly After that I pretty much lost it and started doing everything as rapidly as physically possible and very sloppily as an expression of my extreme anger at the whole procedure. It was after that that they decided, in part because my writing was so sloppy, that I must have mental problems and so they had me tested. At the end of it I asked the tester what I had scored And what I later realized was an exceedingly rare display of honesty instead of rattling off a figure he stated that he didn't really know because I hadn't missed any questions and he'd only brought up to the fifth grade level with him. He said he'd come back with a higher level test. But he didn't because my school had a policy against jump promotions because they "hurt social development" so what would have been the point? That was before Sputnik. I was ENORMOUSLY grateful to the Soviet Union when that happened because suddenly schools became interested in actually helping kids like me instead of treating them like problems. Unfortunately I was sidetracked from all that for socioeconomic political reasons I never found anywhere in the United States that valued actual intelligence so much that they were willing to disregard The usual screening for political acceptability Taking down the Confederate flag from in front of your all white boarding high school in Birmingham while Bull Connor was turning fire hoses and police dogs on non-violent demonstrators pretty much killed off educational prospects. Decades later listing Rachel Carson and Rosa Parks as your heroes on an"interest" sheet that was, of course a honey pot, killed off your first attempt at a science degree. A decade after that asking a question that revealed grossly inadequate safety betting of a poster child biotech product being presented on a day that was ostensibly for Open discussion of safety concerns got all your course work for the entire semester regraded and downgraded two letter grades, and access to co-ops removed. (This is one of the major reasons why industry so consistently turns out"solutions" that only exacerbate or add new problems) Sorry for the rant. I think you hit a sore point somewhere
I think that the zone of proximal development is a very useful concept for teachers. It can help them to identify the areas where students need support and the areas where they are ready to learn on their own. Happy to learn a new theory here!
I would say that Jean Piaget was correct in his theory of stages (linked to physiological growth). But also that Lev Vygotsky was correct in asserting that a persons environment affects the possibilities of maximal growth. Physiology provides the tools to grow and ones environment provides the space to grow.
The Zone of proximal development is not the comfort zone. The comfort zone refers to a place of familiarity and... comfort. The ZPD is a enviroment where someone can be taught.
@@marlynnieves1416 Not at all. I am an introvert, but I thrive, intellectually, upon discourse with others. Exchanging ideas, in fact, is one of my favorite ways to learn new concepts. Introverts are often mistakenly attributed the traits of someone with social anxiety; many people think that introverts hate being around others. While some introverts are shy, and indeed I was and still can be, introverts do not, by definition, dislike being around other people. Rather it is a matter of where we get our energy from. Unlike extroverts, who thrive and get a a charge from being around others- the more the merrier- introverts can deal with others, even with large groups, but need alone time to recharge, as gatherings tend to drain us of our energy. (PS I am a psychology major.)
@@GothicElf68 I think because so many people with social anxiety have coopted the term and insist that they fan’s talk on the phone because, “I’m an introvert.”
My professor in college called some kids "garbage pail kids." Instead of needing cues and stimulation, these kids could be put into a garbage pail and still learn. I have had several of these kids over the years. They are gifted. For the rest of the class, they need that mentor (teacher) to help them grow and learn.
Like the boy and girl in this video, I can connect this to the caste system in India.. If someone speaks against reservations in India.. I would recommend this video for them..
After observing my little brother(1year) and my friends little sister(7months) and putting them through some small experiments we noticed that physical change happen fatser than phycological change for example We gave them both a toy to bite on with deffrent biting time my friend's sister developef a stronger bite although she is youngr also she can understand that she is doing good or bad after the reward unlike my brother whom is still confused about the reward after the biting task .
Children’s ability to learn in different social environments differ. I have four functioning girls and one of them doesn’t have social skills. She is social awkward and her sense of reality is much different from her sisters’ even though they all grew up in the same home with the same parents. I believe the difference in their personalities also plays a part in how they respond to their environment too. Not everyone learns through interactions with others.
my personal opinion is that proximal learning and the knowledge passed down through our mentors determins the advancement of our society. If we got a human from say 10 000 years ago today and put them in school with every other child and raised them as one of our own, chances are that they would turn out like everyone else in the same way that if we take someone from today and raise them 1000 years from now im sure they would look like the smartest person in comparison to today and its got nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with proximal development. Im sure there are giant holes in that thought experiment but you get the idea.
I recall feeling frustrated because when I spoke it didn’t make sense like when other people spoke. This was a very early memory. I definitely had a coherent thought life long before I could hold a conversation. When learning a language I understand a lot compared to my capacity to contribute to a conversation.
I think there are some limitations to how much a child can understand, I also think it is more appropriate to follow the interests of a child and help grow in those directions, while also noticing if the are some very important skills the child might need to learn and suggesting to learn those as well.
I see the logic in the gentleman's theory, however, I have met (and at times been one) who has taken it upon themself to learn improve. I use the maxim 'learn to learn' and have always encouraged others to do the same. There can be some dead ends, deviations and/or changes to original concept/quest, but that is life. I was taught by my parents, if you don't know ask, if you are teased at school because you don't know, take the initial hit of embarrassment and learn. Many a time, when called out the teaser didn't know either.
Vygotsky claimed that the help of Knowledgeable Others can improve and help a child's potential. Obviously some children don't get the support they should and are forced to learn on their own, and if we look at the example shown in the video it shows that the girl will develop but not at the same rate as the boy. An extreme example that I can think of that supports Vygotsky's theory is the case of Genie the feral child, who was kept restrained in a locked room for the majority of her first 13 years of life. Her dad forbade interacting with her and as a result she wasn't exposed to a significant amount of speech and she didn't acquire language in her childhood. You should read about her, it's a very sad but interesting case.
I'm not sure what learning only in social and cultural contexts has to do with the appropriateness of deciding what a child learns next (end of video question) but this has been decided for children for ages. C.S. Lewis provides a great criticism for it in "The Abolition of Man" which also criticizes some of the perspectives of Piaget that limit information right out of the gate.
It is partly true, my brothers baby boy whom now is 4 years old, when he was a baby around 4 to 5 months his mum would play RUclips children educational videos he would spend most of his time in his crib in his room watching these, (btw we are Slovakian nationality so there is no English spoken in the house) when eventually he would turn almost 2 years old he came out speaking English like proper English words he learned all the animals, colours , shapes, and sentences, questions, and he doesn’t understand Slovak 😂 so children are like sponges they soak up everything , I guess the age from 5 months to 2yrs a child is very capable of learning. I call my little nephew Einstein coz he’s so smart now, children are very intelligent. It all depends on their parents and their environment. Btw I’m a big psychology geek.
Indeed we all learn from our environment. Children mimic what they see their peers or adults do and this is mainly how they learn. So yes, the environment plays a big part in how children learn. setting up the environment and allowing children to explore is a wonder to watch...my god-daughter using a block as a cellphone. If she never saw someone using a cellphone I don't think a memory would be there for her to recall and know that this block looks like the cellphone she sees us using. Children need us to help them in scaffolding their world. I'm just entering the formal world of teaching and learning the different concepts is quite interesting. Your feedback on my thoughts is welcomed.
When i was a kid, i was able to walk at 9 months old! Pretty early for most kids....but i was never the brightest in class not got some honours at school! I was not so good in language and words but i was very intelligent in numbers and abstract! I don't know if it has something to do with it???

Conversations with others may be okay, but I think I can get essentially the same experience from writing things out. Another thought: I never became social to the point that I enjoy talking with more than one or two particular people that I really trust. Other people tend to cause me to feel awkward and self-conscious, so talking with them doesn't achieve much of anything for me. I do however agree that the early expectations of others regarding your potential are incredibly influential. For instance my dad didn't believe that girls should use tools and didn't allow me to learn about them (or maybe he was just trying to keep everyone out of his shop so he could keep drinking there...). I never really learned to use tools or related subject matter, which really pisses me off to this very day.
This video discusses Vygotsky's theory of social development. The theory emphasizes the importance of community and language in learning. Vygotsky rejected Piaget's stage theory, believing that children develop through social interaction. Vygotsky proposed the Zone of Proximal Development, where learning occurs with the help of more knowledgeable others. He also connected speech and mental concepts, arguing that inner speech develops from external speech. Vygotsky's work has influenced education, emphasizing the role of social interaction and collaboration in learning.
I'm pretty sure that we can get benefit from both styles of teaching and learning. We must understand that children have more abilities than we think. Children can learn from social and cultural context, but they need assistance of knowledgable other. Maybe Some children require the assistance while others do not. Having a perfect mix of both styles can benefit both types of children.

."Zone of proximal development' is(1) the area between a child's current level of independent performance and the level of performance that the child could achieve with the help of adults and more skilled peers. (2) a range of tasks that the child should be able to do as per her age but cannot.(3) the process where two individuals who begin with different understandings arrive at a shared understanding. (4) the process in which children learn to perform tasks as set by the elder members in a society. Iska kya answer hoga
Thank you for this video. As a Chinese living in a South east Asian country, I agree with Vygotsky's theory more. As much as I like Piaget's theory but I find it not applicable to certain Asian communities.
This theory highlights the importance of scaffolding, where support is gradually removed as learners gain competence. Vygotsky's focus on language and dialogue as key tools in learning contrasts with more solitary, individual-centered views of development, such as Piaget's.
Your videos are informative; however, I wish the representation in the illustrations was more diverse so I felt comfortable sharing them in my classes.
I believe it is important to wait until the child is ready to explore the world through language play and communication. By giving the child an acceptance to make an argument it creates a debate between the child and its parents which also gives the child a much faster mental and emotional development, in that they have to be able to solve a problem before getting what they want. ex "I want candy before dinner." The child will be asked why, and come up with a solid explanation why. or "I want to walk alone down to my friend" who lives one mile away. Again the child has to argue why they believe it is a good idea. This not just develop the balance between the left and right side of the brain, but also creates a bigger verbal skill set from a very young age.
Piaget's viewpoint and Vygotsky's viewpoint are both extreme theoretical positions on a continuum. If you take an example like learning to play chess, growing up in a very stimulating and supportive environment (ZPD) can lead to children performing at a very high level at a young age. But if these children did not have exceptional latent cognitive ability then this wouldn't have happened, and in chess if you just copy other people's games then you are not likely to win at a high level. Also Vygotsky lived in Stalinist Russia where independent thought was strongly discouraged and could get you sent to the gulag and probable death, so he was hardly motivated to come up with a theory that everyone learns better when they try to think for themselves.
Great video and the cartoons are a great visual. 1. We do learn through Social and cultural contexts eg a child in Kenya will learn Kiswahili as opposed to one in Spain who will learn Spanish as first language. They will also interact with different environments , for example one may be exposed to technology and gadgets while the other will be rich in exposure to flora and fauna. however both of them must develop cognitive skills that allow them to interact with culture and society. 2. To a great extend the more knowledgeable other has a role in determining what a child should learn. If it is a teacher, she/he is the one more knowledgeable in curriculum requirements and standards not known to the child. The teacher will also ensure that what the child learns is wholesome and balanced to develop multiple skills in the child. However the teacher should let the child explore further if they are so inclined and provide resources for the child to extent themselves further. The teacher should not load their own bias or limitations onto the child. For parents and older siblings, they are aware of for example the cultural norms, values, traditions which the child may not be aware of. Therefore as the more knowledgeable others, they should guide the child's learning as well as provide scaffolding as the child gradually gains independence.

The original "One room schoolhouse" made maximum use of pure mentoring
Because there was only one teach er and many pupils at all levels , The basic approach was to have older kids help younger kids with any problems and if the older kid couldn't help them then you moved up to the next older kid.
It's not only made far more efficient of the teacher, it greatly improved the depth and quality of the education. When you have to help someone with their understanding of a subject, it inevitably improves your own understanding of the subject
Social interaction is the natural learning that every child needs to learn. It is an independent source where many elements they can experience with internal and external development. For motor development is also encouraging by social interaction and self experimenting.
Thanks a lot
I am brazilian and your videos are very helpful for me cause the way wich you pronnounce the words are easy to me understand and learn english. Thank you guys
This is soo true.
Here in Pakistan, normally people(especially females) are not skillful. Because society doesn't expect anything from them.
Even in my country's top Engineering University, students' learning capabilities are hampered due to their presumptions about themselves.
Also, our teachers don't expect anything more than average from us.
All we need is proper guidance and GOOD teachers.
It is a combination of both. While each of these critical cognitive processes are normally developed at a certain age period, they are affected by social interactions either speeding up, slowing down, or even halting these developments during each stage of our lives. with this comes an almost predictable domino effect based on their development accompanied by social interactions at a very young age. it is not the student, but the teacher(s) that have a heavily weighted effect on each individual and the teacher happens to be each person we interact with.
Commenting is also social learning interaction where I am experiencing the video and get output from my understanding.

Both learning by interest and with the help of more knowledgable other are important because learning if not made interesting and challengable becomes boring and makes us give up!
When you're a child you learn because you want to discover everything but also I think that the feed back plays a more important role, kinda every child is super curious and very smart, the development then highly depends on the feedback.
We must understand that kids have more abilities than we think. Environment, respect, letting them share and express their ideas are the tools to mentor the students
but they are not grown adults- their development is not complete. Also many grown adults are not mentally and emotionally developed as they might be expected to be for their age. This can happen for any number of reasons.
Would you ask a child if they would like to drink alcohol? Would you ask an adult alcoholic the same question?
@@annaworthington9522 Somewhere out there a teen grew up with an alcoholic parent and chose to not drink from the experience of growing up in that situation.
So true, how development is based on coaching, not necessarily on age. My daughter was reading by age 2 and algebra by age 4, currently age 10 going into 8th grade, taking 3 high school classes! I coached her from conception, more vigorously from age 1 and 2. She is a brain and a hard worker, but consistent coaching most definitely played a major factor.
A knowledgable elder always has the role of a guide in the mental development of a child . So the Environment, language, location , Society, Sorrounding , Economic conditions play a major role in the development of a child. The Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation also has a greater role to play.
This is a fascinating theory. I do agree with Vygotsky, although, In my opinion, I believe The Zone of Proximal Developmental would be much more effective with Piaget's theory of cognitive development taken into consideration. As a Child's cognitive ability further develops, they will be able to apprehend more complex teachings from the "more knowledgable other". I believe that both Vygotsky's and Piaget's theory coincide perfectly and should both be put into practice simultaneously.
Good point!
Excellent point 👌
There is A LOT of works that is not translated into english. We (in Russia) could even develop deaf - blind children, but there is no use of it because of politicians. Our scientists seriously developed his theory, but again, thx to Vladimir Putin and his friends we cant properly cooperate with our foreign colleagues from 2014.
They are...to an extent. The part you're missing is Piaget is widely criticized for (among several other things) his stages applying largely to Western cultures and traditional upbringings. They, though relatively applicable to everyone, are not universal to all. Vygotsky's theory takes into consideration different cultures 'and' upbringings, and thus includes a broader explanation for why we turn out the way we do
So, both are applied, but Piaget's is more like a specific framework for Western cultures within Vygotsky's greater theory. If Vygotsky and Piaget had access to all the research we've done since their deaths, they would no doubt agree.

Learning without assistance develops other qualities like the ability to solve problems without help or thinking outside of the box.
Yes, good thought!
It will develop more imagination too
That's how you be creative.
where can you learn without "assistance"

Absolutely love this, You guys helped me significantly in my study, appreciate your works
I think the more knowledge other's role is to guide and where the child is not sure of the knowledge gain not to determine what the child must learn
I learned how to read thru an entirely subconscious process. Each week I could by three comic books with my allowance and I allowed my two years older brother to choose one of the ones I bought in return for him reading all six to me out loud. I was not consciously paying any attention to the text, only following the action in the graphics. It undoubtedly helped that many of the balloons only contained single words and I did know that one string of letters corresponded to one word. I never tried to follow the text. One day I tried to turn the page before he was finished reading and I realized I didn't need him any more. I always when tested had an extremely high reading speed and suspect that's because I learned to read without ever myself trying to sound out the words.
I spent the summer before first grade in a summer kindergarten and somehow got mixed in with kids two years older. I was too small to get a share of the toys but there was a cabinet full of workbooks for reading, arithmetic etc. With no help from anyone at all, just by knowing how to read I went thru many of them and by the end of the summer was at 3'rd or forth grade level and far above that in math ALL without any help whatsoever other than the workbooks themselves.
Everything that teachers thought they were "teaching" me was always something I already knew and they would get exceedingly upset when they discovered that I wasn't just being "difficult", and actually really did already know it.
MOST people may learn most things by interacting with others (whether adults or peers) but it is not remotely the ONLY way to learn.
SOME kids learn IN SPITE OF what adults are doing instead of because of it.
I don't know whether it's a result of the way I did this early learning or the driving force behind me doing it, but I have always been a completely independent thinker. (this was a major problem growing up in the deep South where so much of what adults did and thought was very obviously WRONG.)
Any person who thinks that even very small children can only learn from others has, at the very least, very poor observational skills.
The more I was left alone, the faster I learned.
Have you had you IQ tested?
IQ tests are very crude measure and really the questions are only correlated with rather than directly related to actual intelligence. In addition they can be affected by many things other than intelligence - for example many questions in the past had strong cultural bias and discriminated against social groups that had not had prior exposure to the background.
In addition tests are directed at intended groups who scores were expected to be within a certain range. It would be very few questions of so difficult that no one inside of that range could answer it. Consequently The score received by all questions correctly (or nearly all because everyone makes occasional errors just to the carelessness - especially those who are being excruciatingly bored by the entire procedure) only indicates The lowest potential value of actual ability.
I was tested in the first grade because I was so disruptive and uncooperative that they decided that maybe the problem might be just mental disability. It started when we were handed the paper to fill out of"math" problems with sets of graphics instead of numbers! They were separated by plus and minus signs followed by an equal sign and we were supposed to DRAW The correct number of figures after the equal sign. I had already taught myself addition, subtraction division multiplication and calculation of square roots and cube roots in kindergarten! The room was used for 6th grade and above math classes during the year and they were workbooks and cabinets on the wall. I found the workbooks far more interesting than the toys - I had toys at home but nothing remotely like the workbooks.
So this"math" worksheet was SO insulting and crashingly boring. So instead of drawing out all the individual figures as who were supposed to I would put one lollipop or square or triangle or whatever and the number that represented the correct answer.
I thought the teacher would be pleased to see that I already knew the material.
Instead she was very upset and angry because I was not "following the material" and made me redo it " correctly" I drawing out the correct number of individual figures.
I was in a real hurry to get outside and it was SO mindlessly and gratuitously repetitive. So I just dashed it all off as fast as I could with really really sloppy triangle squares and whatever's.
She got very angry about that and insisted that I do it all again very very neatly
After that I pretty much lost it and started doing everything as rapidly as physically possible and very sloppily as an expression of my extreme anger at the whole procedure.
It was after that that they decided, in part because my writing was so sloppy, that I must have mental problems and so they had me tested.
At the end of it I asked the tester what I had scored
And what I later realized was an exceedingly rare display of honesty instead of rattling off a figure he stated that he didn't really know because I hadn't missed any questions and he'd only brought up to the fifth grade level with him. He said he'd come back with a higher level test. But he didn't because my school had a policy against jump promotions because they "hurt social development" so what would have been the point?
That was before Sputnik. I was ENORMOUSLY grateful to the Soviet Union when that happened because suddenly schools became interested in actually helping kids like me instead of treating them like problems. Unfortunately I was sidetracked from all that for socioeconomic political reasons
I never found anywhere in the United States that valued actual intelligence so much that they were willing to disregard The usual screening for political acceptability
Taking down the Confederate flag from in front of your all white boarding high school in Birmingham while Bull Connor was turning fire hoses and police dogs on non-violent demonstrators pretty much killed off educational prospects.
Decades later listing Rachel Carson and Rosa Parks as your heroes on an"interest" sheet that was, of course a honey pot, killed off your first attempt at a science degree. A decade after that asking a question that revealed grossly inadequate safety betting of a poster child biotech product being presented on a day that was ostensibly for Open discussion of safety concerns got all your course work for the entire semester regraded and downgraded two letter grades, and access to co-ops removed. (This is one of the major reasons why industry so consistently turns out"solutions" that only exacerbate or add new problems)
Sorry for the rant. I think you hit a sore point somewhere
I think that the zone of proximal development is a very useful concept for teachers. It can help them to identify the areas where students need support and the areas where they are ready to learn on their own. Happy to learn a new theory here!
Love these videos, simple, clear and easy to make sense of.
I would say that Jean Piaget was correct in his theory of stages (linked to physiological growth). But also that Lev Vygotsky was correct in asserting that a persons environment affects the possibilities of maximal growth. Physiology provides the tools to grow and ones environment provides the space to grow.
"Learning occurs in a social environment outside of your comfort zone" Oh boy...
oh boy oh boy
The Zone of proximal development is not the comfort zone. The comfort zone refers to a place of familiarity and... comfort. The ZPD is a enviroment where someone can be taught.
Introverts nightmare
@@marlynnieves1416 Not at all. I am an introvert, but I thrive, intellectually, upon discourse with others. Exchanging ideas, in fact, is one of my favorite ways to learn new concepts. Introverts are often mistakenly attributed the traits of someone with social anxiety; many people think that introverts hate being around others. While some introverts are shy, and indeed I was and still can be, introverts do not, by definition, dislike being around other people. Rather it is a matter of where we get our energy from. Unlike extroverts, who thrive and get a a charge from being around others- the more the merrier- introverts can deal with others, even with large groups, but need alone time to recharge, as gatherings tend to drain us of our energy. (PS I am a psychology major.)
@@GothicElf68 I think because so many people with social anxiety have coopted the term and insist that they fan’s talk on the phone because, “I’m an introvert.”
My professor in college called some kids "garbage pail kids." Instead of needing cues and stimulation, these kids could be put into a garbage pail and still learn. I have had several of these kids over the years. They are gifted. For the rest of the class, they need that mentor (teacher) to help them grow and learn.
thank you for simplify this information/theory, it would have taken an hour in class for them to go through this
This is a great video for teachers learning about children's early childhood education and development. Well done!
Thank you, much appreciated, this explanation is so much better than the book 🤯
Conversing with others can build new ideas as vygostky postulates that thru social interactions cognitive development is enhanced
Like the boy and girl in this video,
I can connect this to the caste system in India..
If someone speaks against reservations in India..
I would recommend this video for them..
So Piaget and Vygotsky are certainly both right, it's just a portion of the truth we are gradually realizing.
Started reading Thought and Language by Vygostky, and this video is a really good background knowledge builder.
This is a great video! Thank you so much for your sharing!
I think that both men were right! learning can proceed development, but socialization is needed as well.
Thankyou! This is a big help to my activity in school 😊💗
Everyday I need to watch a video from this channel. it's making me loooveee psychology.
After observing my little brother(1year) and my friends little sister(7months) and putting them through some small experiments we noticed that physical change happen fatser than phycological change for example
We gave them both a toy to bite on with deffrent biting time my friend's sister developef a stronger bite although she is youngr also she can understand that she is doing good or bad after the reward unlike my brother whom is still confused about the reward after the biting task .
I’m here because my Child and adolescence development class ❤️.
Children’s ability to learn in different social environments differ. I have four functioning girls and one of them doesn’t have social skills. She is social awkward and her sense of reality is much different from her sisters’ even though they all grew up in the same home with the same parents. I believe the difference in their personalities also plays a part in how they respond to their environment too. Not everyone learns through interactions with others.
I am here, because my lecture suggests me to watch it as assignment. yeah, absolutely this video could give me new sight and also new knowledge 😄🙏🏻
Welcome!
my personal opinion is that proximal learning and the knowledge passed down through our mentors determins the advancement of our society. If we got a human from say 10 000 years ago today and put them in school with every other child and raised them as one of our own, chances are that they would turn out like everyone else in the same way that if we take someone from today and raise them 1000 years from now im sure they would look like the smartest person in comparison to today and its got nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with proximal development. Im sure there are giant holes in that thought experiment but you get the idea.
THANK YOU. this helped my essay on another level.
Got an exam tomorrow, but couldn't study so decided to listen to this 😂
I recall feeling frustrated because when I spoke it didn’t make sense like when other people spoke. This was a very early memory. I definitely had a coherent thought life long before I could hold a conversation. When learning a language I understand a lot compared to my capacity to contribute to a conversation.
I think there are some limitations to how much a child can understand, I also think it is more appropriate to follow the interests of a child and help grow in those directions, while also noticing if the are some very important skills the child might need to learn and suggesting to learn those as well.
I see the logic in the gentleman's theory, however, I have met (and at times been one) who has taken it upon themself to learn improve. I use the maxim 'learn to learn' and have always encouraged others to do the same. There can be some dead ends, deviations and/or changes to original concept/quest, but that is life.
I was taught by my parents, if you don't know ask, if you are teased at school because you don't know, take the initial hit of embarrassment and learn. Many a time, when called out the teaser didn't know either.
Vygotsky claimed that the help of Knowledgeable Others can improve and help a child's potential. Obviously some children don't get the support they should and are forced to learn on their own, and if we look at the example shown in the video it shows that the girl will develop but not at the same rate as the boy. An extreme example that I can think of that supports Vygotsky's theory is the case of Genie the feral child, who was kept restrained in a locked room for the majority of her first 13 years of life. Her dad forbade interacting with her and as a result she wasn't exposed to a significant amount of speech and she didn't acquire language in her childhood. You should read about her, it's a very sad but interesting case.
I'm not sure what learning only in social and cultural contexts has to do with the appropriateness of deciding what a child learns next (end of video question) but this has been decided for children for ages. C.S. Lewis provides a great criticism for it in "The Abolition of Man" which also criticizes some of the perspectives of Piaget that limit information right out of the gate.
Great job!
This really helped me with a presentation about Vygotsky and his theories!
It is partly true, my brothers baby boy whom now is 4 years old, when he was a baby around 4 to 5 months his mum would play RUclips children educational videos he would spend most of his time in his crib in his room watching these, (btw we are Slovakian nationality so there is no English spoken in the house) when eventually he would turn almost 2 years old he came out speaking English like proper English words he learned all the animals, colours , shapes, and sentences, questions, and he doesn’t understand Slovak 😂 so children are like sponges they soak up everything , I guess the age from 5 months to 2yrs a child is very capable of learning. I call my little nephew Einstein coz he’s so smart now, children are very intelligent. It all depends on their parents and their environment. Btw I’m a big psychology geek.
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting. Wonder that leanings he didn’t do watching videos. Thoughts?

Very nice ❤ useful to know about children's mentally concepts
Indeed we all learn from our environment. Children mimic what they see their peers or adults do and this is mainly how they learn. So yes, the environment plays a big part in how children learn. setting up the environment and allowing children to explore is a wonder to watch...my god-daughter using a block as a cellphone. If she never saw someone using a cellphone I don't think a memory would be there for her to recall and know that this block looks like the cellphone she sees us using. Children need us to help them in scaffolding their world.
I'm just entering the formal world of teaching and learning the different concepts is quite interesting. Your feedback on my thoughts is welcomed.
I had this doubt all the while raising my kid. Tq. Very good info
When i was a kid, i was able to walk at 9 months old! Pretty early for most kids....but i was never the brightest in class not got some honours at school! I was not so good in language and words but i was very intelligent in numbers and abstract! I don't know if it has something to do with it???

Wonderful!
Conversations with others may be okay, but I think I can get essentially the same experience from writing things out. Another thought: I never became social to the point that I enjoy talking with more than one or two particular people that I really trust. Other people tend to cause me to feel awkward and self-conscious, so talking with them doesn't achieve much of anything for me.
I do however agree that the early expectations of others regarding your potential are incredibly influential. For instance my dad didn't believe that girls should use tools and didn't allow me to learn about them (or maybe he was just trying to keep everyone out of his shop so he could keep drinking there...). I never really learned to use tools or related subject matter, which really pisses me off to this very day.
Exactly the way UBUNTU theory works, a village raises a child. Every person talks to them and play their role of developement.
This video discusses Vygotsky's theory of social development. The theory emphasizes the importance of community and language in learning. Vygotsky rejected Piaget's stage theory, believing that children develop through social interaction. Vygotsky proposed the Zone of Proximal Development, where learning occurs with the help of more knowledgeable others. He also connected speech and mental concepts, arguing that inner speech develops from external speech. Vygotsky's work has influenced education, emphasizing the role of social interaction and collaboration in learning.
I'm pretty sure that we can get benefit from both styles of teaching and learning. We must understand that children have more abilities than we think. Children can learn from social and cultural context, but they need assistance of knowledgable other. Maybe Some children require the assistance while others do not. Having a perfect mix of both styles can benefit both types of children.

3:55 I'm put off by words like "only" in contexts like this.
."Zone of proximal development' is(1) the area between a child's current level of independent performance and the level of performance that the child could achieve with the help of adults and more skilled peers.
(2) a range of tasks that the child should be able to do as per her age but cannot.(3) the process where two individuals who begin with different understandings arrive at a shared understanding.
(4) the process in which children learn to perform tasks as set by the elder members in a society.

Thank you for this video. As a Chinese living in a South east Asian country, I agree with Vygotsky's theory more. As much as I like Piaget's theory but I find it not applicable to certain Asian communities.
It is a very useful concept for teachers. I love the video❤
really great and enjoyable cartoon design and clear lecture teaching ❤
I'm here because it is one of our topic in my Course
This theory highlights the importance of scaffolding, where support is gradually removed as learners gain competence. Vygotsky's focus on language and dialogue as key tools in learning contrasts with more solitary, individual-centered views of development, such as Piaget's.
Your videos are informative; however, I wish the representation in the illustrations was more diverse so I felt comfortable sharing them in my classes.
I believe it is important to wait until the child is ready to explore the world through language play and communication. By giving the child an acceptance to make an argument it creates a debate between the child and its parents which also gives the child a much faster mental and emotional development, in that they have to be able to solve a problem before getting what they want. ex "I want candy before dinner." The child will be asked why, and come up with a solid explanation why. or "I want to walk alone down to my friend" who lives one mile away. Again the child has to argue why they believe it is a good idea. This not just develop the balance between the left and right side of the brain, but also creates a bigger verbal skill set from a very young age.

Very well explained, thanks
thanks
Im here because of the online class..the lecture need us to watching this before class start later hahah😂
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
I love your channel!! 👏👏👏👏
Piaget's viewpoint and Vygotsky's viewpoint are both extreme theoretical positions on a continuum. If you take an example like learning to play chess, growing up in a very stimulating and supportive environment (ZPD) can lead to children performing at a very high level at a young age. But if these children did not have exceptional latent cognitive ability then this wouldn't have happened, and in chess if you just copy other people's games then you are not likely to win at a high level.
Also Vygotsky lived in Stalinist Russia where independent thought was strongly discouraged and could get you sent to the gulag and probable death, so he was hardly motivated to come up with a theory that everyone learns better when they try to think for themselves.
So beneficial for us ! Thank youu
Thanks....loved it😍
Great video and the cartoons are a great visual. 1. We do learn through Social and cultural contexts eg a child in Kenya will learn Kiswahili as opposed to one in Spain who will learn Spanish as first language. They will also interact with different environments , for example one may be exposed to technology and gadgets while the other will be rich in exposure to flora and fauna. however both of them must develop cognitive skills that allow them to interact with culture and society.
2. To a great extend the more knowledgeable other has a role in determining what a child should learn. If it is a teacher, she/he is the one more knowledgeable in curriculum requirements and standards not known to the child. The teacher will also ensure that what the child learns is wholesome and balanced to develop multiple skills in the child. However the teacher should let the child explore further if they are so inclined and provide resources for the child to extent themselves further. The teacher should not load their own bias or limitations onto the child. For parents and older siblings, they are aware of for example the cultural norms, values, traditions which the child may not be aware of. Therefore as the more knowledgeable others, they should guide the child's learning as well as provide scaffolding as the child gradually gains independence.
Is possible through Vygotsky theory . Great experience given by Sprouts
