You should have observed in a classroom or completed an interview with a teacher prior to writing this assignment.
*If you are not able to observe a classroom or have yet to speak with a teacher, you are to use the following Annenberg video Building on What We Know: Cognitive Processing as a supporting source for this assignment.
For this assignment, address the following: In the first part of the paper, summarize the key aspects of Vygotsky’s theory.
In the second part, include examples of Vygotsky’s theory that you have been able to observe in classrooms, have learned from interviewing a teacher, or have experienced in your own education (and weaving the two together effectively).
For example, is the teacher you are observing (or interviewing) more of a “facilitator or guide” than a “fountain of knowledge”?
If not, how could this teacher structure their classroom to include more of Vygotsky’s main ideas/principles?
Explain these classroom examples and associated research in detail/depth using ONLY the sources provided.
