The table is intended to help you demonstrate your knowledge and understanding about the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky. Provide as much information in your answers as possible without exceeding the overall 500 words limit.
You should also ensure that you reference the study material accurately.
Questions | Piaget | Vygotsky |
What was the theorist’s main interest in child development?Include a reference to the study materials in your answer to this question | (Oates, Craft, Eyres and Browne, 2012, pg.93)In study topic 4, Piaget’s main interest was in how children develop their knowledge in relation to their environment and interactions. Piaget saw knowledge as resulting from an interaction between individuals and their environment. | (Miller, Devereux, Goodliff, Craft and Callan, 2010, pg. 71)In study topic 3, Vygotsky’s main interest was how knowledge is passed from one human being to another, focussing on communication and the social world.Vygotsky believed learning occurred by interacting with others and the role of the ‘more able other’ is a central feature of learning. |

What are the main similarities of the two perspectives?Include some references to the study materials in your answer to this question | (Oates, Craft,...
