Sociocultural theory is an emerging theory in psychology that looks at the important contributions that society makes to individual development. This theory stresses the interaction between developing people and the culture in which they live. Sociocultural theory also suggests that human learning is largely a social process. Psychology is one of t...
Internalization. Internalization is another core concept of SCT during which cultural artifacts, such as language, take on a psychological function. Internalization is defined as «a negotiated process that recognizes the relationship of the individual to her or his social environment and generally carries it into future performance». The Vygotskian...
Lantolf and Thorne argue that ZPD is a model of the developmental process, as well as a conceptual tool that educators can use by to understand aspects of their students’ emerging capacities that are in early stages of maturation. ZPD is also seen a diagnostic tool, when used proactively by teachers, can help them create learning conditions for the...
The sociocultural theory of abnormal psychology focuses on society and family as causes of mental illness. Strengths of this theory include the fact that it addresses the impact that society has on individuals, it looks at issues surrounding labeling of people and it has a high treatment success rate. There are several criticisms to the Vygotsky ap...
A theory has possibly 'theoretical' advantages or disadvantages given its empirical or philosophical basis. That’s the reason why theories are falsified and continuously adapted or even rejected after a serious paradigm shift. However, possible advantages or disadvantages of use put theory in a different perspective. Further, there is a need to con...
Vygotsky's sociocultural theory differ from Piaget's theory of cognitive development First, Vygotsky placed a greater emphasis on how social factors influence development. Another important difference between the two theories is that while Piaget's theory suggests that development is largely universal, Vygotsky asserts that cognitive development ca...
There are many theories, methods, and research related to the nature of language acquisition. Thorough understanding of this knowledge can aid teachers in the creation of learning environment that support the language and literacy development and content area achievement of English language learners. The theories, approaches, and methods surroundin...
Input is the raw language data that learners hear or read and entails a specific communicative intent. Input is the primary data base on which learners build a linguistic system. Changing the way learners process input and enriching their intake might have an effect on the developing system that subsequently should have an impact on how learners pr...
In connectivism, the starting point for learning occurs when knowledge is actuated through the process of a learner connecting to and feeding information into a learning community. In the connectivist model, a learning community is described as a node, which is always part of a larger network. Nodes arise out of the connection points that are found...
Typically, this continuum is divided into three broad categories: Cognitive constructivism based on the work of Jean Piaget, social constructivism based on the work of Lev Vygotsky, and radical constructivism. According to the GSI Teaching and Resource Center, Cognitive constructivism states knowledge is something that is actively constructed by le...
Both constructivism and sociocultural theory, when applied to learning, are concerned with the activities that children engage in to learn. However, constructivist theory suggests one should attend to the learning and mental representations of the individual while the sociocultural theory is more concerned with the ways in which learning is an act ...
Observational adequacy: It was argued that higher thinking processes needed for optimal professional practices are inherently social and start at the intermental level between and among people. Hence, for professional development to get realized, the teacher should participate in social activities and groups. The program designer of professional de...

Wood, Bruner and Ross (1976), introduced the notion of ‘scaffolding’ as a metaphor for the way an expert ‘tutor’ (such as a parent) can support a young child’s progress and achievement through a relatively difficult task.

Following this introduction, we set out a theoretical framework based on Bruner's pedagogical scaffolding [12], Chermack and Swanson's work on learning through scenarios [14] and Robinson's work on backcasting [15], followed by further detail on the research design and methods employed, findings and discussion.

Bruner, and Ross (1976) first intro-duced the term and described six functions of scaffolding. Although Wood and his colleagues discussed scaffolding in terms of tutoring, we present these six functions in rela-tion to teaching (see table 1). As we studied these functions, we noted the different lesson phases within which these functions occurred.
