Facilitating Learning Lev Semyonovich Vygostsky

Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist known for his socio-cultural theory of cognitive development. He believed that social interaction and language play a central role in children's cognitive development. Vygotsky proposed that children acquire ways of thinking from their culture through interaction with more knowledgeable others. A key concept is the zone of proximal development, which refers to tasks a child can complete with guidance that they cannot do alone.
