Concentric zone model

by stating that intelligence develops as a result of social processes. Social learning is the necessary component that drives a child to learn. In his terminology, the Zone of proximal development (ZPD), Vygotsky states that there is a range of task a child can do independently and with the help and guidance of others. A child’s Zone of proximal development ZPD are learning and problem-solving abilities that are immature at birth and progressively change over time. As some tasks are mastered,…

that happened that influenced who I am today. What I consider to be the greatest influential event during my childhood was learning to read and how it transpired. I was an only child until I was nearly six, which as a result meant I did not have role models other than my family and family friends. One of our family friends had a son named Connor and by the time I turned three or four, he had been at school for a year or two already. After school we would regularly visit their house, and as a…

everyone. There are many different theories around development, with two key theories being Erikson’s psychosocial theory and Vygotsky’s cognitive theory. Erikson’s theory focuses on solving internal conflicts, whereas Vygotsky’s concentrates on the zone of proximal development (ZPD), and assisting students in their learning. Teachers can take on a variety of roles, and the implications of this can be quite significant. In my last year of high school, I coached an intermediate football team.…

Two important aspects of this theory are scaffolding and the zone of proximal development. Scaffolding works by integrating a framework to assist the child, which is then taken away as the child is successful in a task. Followed closely to this is the zone of proximal development, which helps us to understand how children process information from their environment. From this we can also determine the ways…

this concept of human development is that greater order functions develop out of social interactions. Vygotsky raised the concept of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD ), and believed that when a student is at the ZPD level for a specific learning task, with appropriate guidance (scaffolding) will provide the student enough of a ‘boost’ to achieve the task. The Zone of Proximal Development is the difference between what a student can do without help and what they can do with help. Similar…

In Korea, after Korean war, almost facilities were destroyed. The soldier took the power and controls Korea. The government keep oppress citizens and media. They have no freedom, it finally cause 5.18 Gwangju Uprising. There is a relationship between John Locke and Gwangju Uprising. Based on John Locke’s idea, in his “Social Contract”, we can know that it is very similar with Gwangju Uprising, In this revolution, people resist from government and finally elect new president. In Locke’s idea,…

The researchers found that children with higher IQ’s were more likely to have a broader zone of proximal development such that their mothers transferred more play responsibility to the children at a younger age (approximately by 12 months). This indicates that greater independence in imagintive play at a younger age is a predictor for higher…

The Obama Administration desires to maintain peace on the Korean Peninsula by working with allies to deter and defend against North Korean provocation. Currently, the U.S. posture is “strategic patience” in hopes that North Korea changes its irrational behavior. Assuming North Korea continues its provocations, policymakers should consider three alternative options: contain by normalizing relations, destroy capability by military force, or compel regime change with efforts to reunify the…

I was born in South Korea and grew up in America. As a person who has dual-citizenship, it is nice to know that I have another home. When I become legal, I will have to choose which country I would like to have citizenship in and that would be a bit challenging. The United States is a place where I would want to continue my education while Korea is where I would like to reside in without having to have a work visa or get married to a native. Korea, my first home, is a country that I always look…

North Korea is described as “among the most harshly repressive countries in the world where basic rights are taken away from the citizens and they deal with abuse like murder, rape, and forced abortions” (HRW). Their inhuman actions have led to much controversy around the world. Other than this, their involvement with building up and testing these nuclear weapons has also been a world issue. Their desire for nuclear weapons is valid to ensure the security of the country from its own citizens,…
