VYGOTSKY’S THEORY

Vygotsky Vygotsky believed that learning is based

on language and social interaction.

Parents, teachers, and peers promote learning

Learning takes place in, and is dependent, upon the social environment.

Vygotsky believed that rather than learning new things because you are developmentally ready, you become developmentally ready after you learn new things.

MONTESSORI

Montessori Maria Montessori believed that children

would learn naturally if placed in an environment containing the appropriate learning materials.

Montessori classroom Focuses on the development of the

senses, language, and motor skills.

Children learn by themselves or from each other.

A teacher never interrupts a student who is engaged in a task.
