Let's Talk About Piaget and Vygotsky:

In addition to what you have already learned about Piaget, know that he is identified with having a guiding metaphor of human development with the child as an independent, curious scientist.

In addition to what you have learned about Vygotsky, know that he is identified with a guiding metaphor of the child as an apprentice.

NUMBER THE QUESTIONS IN YOUR POST. You do NOT have to repeat the actual question, just number your answers to the questions. It will help you to organize your writing.

1. Do you find support for these differences? Or not?

2. How would you combine Piaget's and Vygotsky's theories to provide a more valid account of real-life development?

3. Provide an example of a child illustrating Piaget's idea of a child as a scientist OR Provide an example of a child illustrating Vygostky's idea of a child as an apprentice.

Describe the situation and how one of the theories is being demonstrated. (Examples can be something you've seen in the news, your own children, or children you work with.)
