Question

While working on a puzzle with his 3-year-old daughter, Jon demonstrates how to put the outside pieces of the puzzle together first, followed by matching up the puzzle shapes and colors. After his daughter observes for a bit, she begins to pick up pieces and tries to match them together. When she appears confused or looks to her father, Jon points to where the piece should go. Jon’s modeling and support illustrate Vygotsky’s concept of __

Answer 1

Answer:

 Scaffolding

Explanation:

Lev Vygotsky was a psychologist who developed a theory on cognitive development on children based on learning that was made through observation, practice and help of models.

The term Scaffolding refers to the process by which kids learn by being helped by more advanced peers or adults. These people help the kid by giving them guidance when they are working on a task and by showing them how it's done, then, by observation, the children learn faster and also, they receive help when they get stuck, using this method, kids learn abilities faster than those who don't receive any help and learn totally by themselves.

In this example, Jon is working with his 3-year-old daughter and he demonstrates how to put the outside pieces of the puzzled together first, first, she observes and then she starts to do the same thing his father is doing, when she gets stuck, her father is there to help her and point to where the piece should go. We can see that Jon's daughter is learning how to solve a puzzle by receiving help and guidance from him and also getting help when she is stuck. Therefore, this would illustrate Vygotsky's concept of scaffolding.

Answer 2

Answer:

Scaffolding

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

• guided imagery
• metacognition
• scaffolding
• cultural transmission

This illustrates the concept of scaffolding. Scaffolding is a learning method in which learners learn by collaborating with others in a particular activity. The instructor, parent or peer who works with the learner functions as a "scaffolding," as he allows the learner to expand his or her knowledge beyond what he or she would have normally known. It allows the person to develop his zone of proximal development. This is the knowledge that a person might not have on his own, but that can be developed with help and guidance.
