Concentric zone model

two children will reach the same milestones. The zone of proximal development was introduced by Vygotsky in his sociocultural theory. This theory based on the distance between the knowledge the child currently has, and the knowledge that the child can achieve with the assistance of an adult. In other words, what the child is capable of doing on their own, as compared what they can achieve with the help of an adult. Children are not all at the same Zone of proximal development. A teacher who has…

Vygotsky Zone of Proximal development has not only played a important role in children but also adults. The Zone of Proxima devlopment illustrates how scaffolding plays a huge impact in a Childs learning, as they grow up. Without the proper assistance when they are young, they will be unable to do things on their also known as indepence. There are pros and cons to the ZPD. The con to the ZPD is when a child is provided with too much assistance, it can cause them to develop what we call “needy or…

The ad we chose to bust comes from Victoria’s Secret, a company that is known for their marketing strategy of using attractive female models and calling them angels to sell their product. The females they chose to represent their brand are never anything less than tall, skinny, physically fit, able-bodied, young, and flirtatious with big breast and white or at the very least light-skinned. Accompanied by the message of perfect body, this ad communicates the message of what a person is expected…

On the morning of February 28, 2001 the Pacific Northwest was hit by a 45 second, 6.8 magnitude intraslab earthquake called the Nisqually or “The Ash Wednesday” earthquake. The Nisqually earthquake occurred when the Juan de Fuca plate subducted under the North American plate, this quickly released the built up strain. This was caused by mineral changes as the plate moved farther into the mantle. The Nisqually earthquake hit the southern end of Puget Sound causing damage to the ports of Seattle…

lesson, students are exposed to the concept of rhyming multiple times and asked to use these skills practically. The network model of memory says that the more independent “nodes” of information that a person has and the strength of connection between these nodes increases the likelihood of memory storage (Cook & Cook, 2009, 195). The rhyming lesson utilizes the network model of memory by using the rhyming song as a framing device for the lesson. By beginning and ending with the song, the…

As Anghileri (2006) indicates, the way mathematics is taught has had to change. The main influence for this change has been the shift in what the 21st century society demands of its students. Previously, knowledge acquisition was viewed as the most important part of being a maths student, however in the 21st century, various skill sets and understanding is more desirable than reciting facts and figures, especially now that technology can recite fact and figures in more detail, faster and with…

when they are working within their zone of proximal development (ZPD) as well as when scaffolding is being used. According to Clark & Graves (2005, p. 571), “every mental function in a child’s development first appears in collaboration with an adult”. When one is working within their ZPD, over a period of time, they are able to mentally process the work that they could not do before (Clark & Graves,…

Poverty in itself however, creates barriers to education; due to the decile and zoning system and European ideal of going to ‘better’ (higher decile) schools house prices in zoned areas are much higher, thus those living in poverty are unlikely to have access to such schools (St. John & Wynd, 2008). Instead lower-decile schools often create an atmosphere lacking of ambition and hope as many children in these schools do not have the basics such as warm clothing, shoes and enough food. Without the…

Following the Krathwohl and Developmental Assessment (Griffin, 2014), I believe my current Zone of Proximal Development should be at the “Organizing” stage. At the start of the semester, I identified my ZDP the stage as “Responding”, as I was willing to passively receive information and attended all the learning environment, and while completing assessments following the formal requirements, I was not always engaged in discussion in the tutorials. Luckily, the natural of the very first…
