Students are placed within the environment and start as peripheral participants, observing and asking questions. As they develop confidence and competence, they gradually become more and...

Scaffolding as Active Learning We suggest one method of active learning is scaffolding assignments. Scaffolding is an instructional method by which course material is broken down into smaller content and skills that fall within a learner's zone of proximal development (ZPD; Donato, 1988; Vygotsky, ...

Teaching strategies applied in a controlled environment built on Bloom's taxonomy and Vygotsky's zone of proximal development theory using Kolb's experiential learning theory along with motivational strategies have proven to be engaging and enabling for the students. This is mapped through acultural ...
The improved, post-evaluation teaching approach, while still based in constructivist views of learning (Biggs, 1996; Vygotsky, 1978), utilized various scaffolding techniques (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976) and an experiential pedagogical approach referred to as the Loop Input (Woodward, 1988, 2003)...
Social interaction supports the refinement of human needs, so that a person can recognise purposes unavailable to a non-human organism; for instance, creative expression (Ilyenkov1977c). Ilyenkov draws on Vygotsky here. A baby develops sensitivity to her culture by being initiated into the activit...
These evolving views represent an eclectic mix of learning philosophies drawn from Bandura, Dewey, Knowles, Mezirow, Piaget, Vygotsky and many other pedagogical scholars. Blended learning can operate in an adaptive, dynamic, self-organizing, co-evolving complex system that seamlessly fuses live learning...
A worked example is used to demonstrate how scaffolded learning (including Piaget's stages of cognitive development and Vygotsky's zone of proximal development theory), and active learning techniques can be integrated and applied in practice. The author then provides some personal reflections and ...
