Vygotsky’s main topic was the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) which uses social interaction with each other helps move development forward. You can implement Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development in classrooms.

For example, a child with a medium (more challenging) book can read the book but will need help from an adult or peer. The Zone of Proximal Development has three stages. The third stage consists of what is not known. Consisting of what is not known, also means what a child does not yet know. The third stage is when a child can not do an activity or task, even with help…

Vygotsky Zone of Proximal development has not only played a important role in children but also adults.
