Related Key Terms Definition

1.Social Reconstruction Social reconstructionism is a philosophy


that emphasizes the addressing

of a child's perception, learning, thinking, and
problem solving.
3. Scaffolding Scaffolding is breaking up the learning into
chunks and providing a tool, or structure, with
each chunk

4. Zone of Proximal Development The zone of proximal development, is best


understood as the zone of the closest, most
immediate psychological development of
learners that includes a wide range of their
emotional, cognitive, and volitional
psychological proceses.

5. Social Constructivism Social constructivism is a variety of cognitive

LET’S SEE WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND

Assume you are a teacher. Write an essay on the topic: “What teaching methodologies can I
use to improve the performance of my students”. Apply the ideas and concepts about the socio-
cultural dimensions of learning.

Participation will be the teaching methodology that I will use to improve the performance of
my students, because participation and gradual entry into adult activities increase the
likelihood that children will engage in behaviors and thinking skills that are within their zone
of proximal development. Next is apprenticeship. Apprenticeship is a guided participation in
which a beginner works with an experienced mentor for a certain length of time to learn how
to do complicated tasks in a specific subject. I, as a mentor, will give structure and supervision
throughout the lesson so that they can learn according to my instructions. Finally, dynamic
tests generally provide a more objective evaluation of children's cognitive skills than generic
exams. By administering exams in this manner, I will be able to determine what my pupils are
capable of. They will learn the things that are plainly designed for them in this manner.

LET’S DIG UP MORE

A. In your own words, say something about the following.

1. Authentic Learning

Answer: Authentic learning is a teaching method that allows students to research,


debate, and meaningfully develop concepts and relationships in situations such as real-
world issues and projects.

2. Zone of Proximal Development


Answer: The zone of proximal development is best defined as the psychological
growth of learners that is nearest and most direct, and involves a wide variety of
emotional, cognitive, and volitional psychological processes.

3. Socio-Cultural Factors related to learning


Answer: Learning occurs during social interactions between individuals,
according to Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of learning. It is currently one of the
most popular educational philosophies. It thinks that social engagement is the
first step in learning, followed by individual internalization of social actions.
