Activity 6: Vgotsky's Understanding of  Cognitive  Development

As  a teacher , I  realize when  learners  are  given the  proper  guidance  they  can  achieve any   given tasks  .  Vgotsky  emphasizes the importance of children imitating others and the role of giving guidelines in words to accompany activities (instructions), in order for children to learn.  Knowing this information makes it  easier for  me as a  teacher to plan instructions  for  my students. Additionally  as  a teacher  I  have  to make  sure   that I  model  good  behaviors, keeping in mind  that students at this  stage  are  impressionable and they  live  what they  see.
