Candidates preparing for CTET 2019 can also check other important articles from the links give below What do Piaget and Vygotsky agree on?Both psychologist, Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky offered distinctive approaches to the cognitive- developmental issue in the field of psychology. While Piaget and Vygotsky both agreed that children actively construct knowledge through the acquisition of speech.
What makes Vygotsky and Piaget differ in their views about cognitive development?Vygotsky argued that social learning preceded cognitive development. In other words, culture affects cognitive development. Whereas Piaget asserted that all children pass through a number of universal stages of cognitive development, Vygotsky believed that cognitive development varied across cultures.
How do Piaget's and Vygotsky's theories explain child development?Piaget proposed that children progress through the stages of cognitive development through maturation, discovery methods, and some social transmissions through assimilation and accommodation (Woolfolk, A., 2004). Vygotsky's theory stressed the importance of culture and language on one's cognitive development.
What are the main similarities between Vygotsky and Piaget?While Piaget's theory suggests that after cognitive development, learning occur, Vygotsky's theory claims that learning can lead development and sometimes after development learning occurs. Another similarity between the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky is the acquisition of speech.
