| * **Social interaction** - which according to Vygotsky together with language and culture plays a **crucial role in the process of cognitive development**. Opposed to later [[http://www.piaget.org/aboutPiaget.html|Jean Piaget]]’s [[learning_theories:stage theory of cognitive development]] where development precedes learning, Vygotsky believed that learning precedes development. | * **Social interaction** - which according to Vygotsky together with language and culture plays a **crucial role in the process of cognitive development**.

| - | * **The More Knowledgeable Other** (MKO) - a term that addresses a **person** (typically teacher or instructor, but others as well) or a machine that, when compared to the learner, has **more knowledge and skills related to a particular task**, process or concept. THis person can help a child to learn new concepts and tasks, but only as long as those tasks and concepts don't exceed the zone of proiximal development. | + | * **The More Knowledgeable Other** (MKO) - a term that addresses a **person** (typically teacher or instructor, but others as well) or a machine that, when compared to the learner, has **more knowledge and skills related to a particular task**, process or concept.

| * **The Zone of Proximal Development** (ZPD) - a term to describe the //zone// **between** learners ability to **complete a task with guidance** or collaboration and ability to **solve it alone**. The ZPD is where learning occurs. Motivation for introduction of ZPD lies in observation that children could often accomplish tasks with the help of others that they could not accomplish alone. The **zone of proximal development** is the difference **between a child's current level of development and his or her potential level of development**, where full cognitive development is achieved through social interaction. | * **The Zone of Proximal Development** (ZPD) - a term to describe the //zone// **between** learners ability to **complete a task with guidance** or collaboration and ability to **solve it alone**.
