the experience. These internalized experiences set the foundation to construct new ideas. The difference between what a learner can achieve independently and what a learner can achieve with scaffolding and encouragement is known as the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Vygotsky states that the ZPD is where the most sensitive guidance should be given and if done so properly‚ it can support children towards developing higher mental functions.

Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory focused on the affect of the surroundings‚ namely the culture‚ peers‚ and adults‚ on the developing child.

Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory places high significance on a supportive environment and secure relationships in establishing meaningful learning experiences (Ormrod‚ 2011). This response will explore Vygotsky’s concepts of co-construction‚ zone of proximal development‚ transfer of cognitive tools‚ and internalisation. According to the sociocultural lens of Vygotsky‚ ‘children not only develop‚ but are developed (by others)’ (Eun‚ 2010‚ p.402). Thus‚ a positive classroom environment‚ with secure relationships

The metaphases epiphyseal are the mature bones were the diaphysis joins the epiphyseal in the growth plate while the bone is still growing. 3.
