Document Summary

Teaching style that matches the amount of assistance to the learner"s needs: used in schools, give help but not more than is needed (i. e. more help on a new task) Provide less instruction as they become proficient: i. e. putting on a snow suit. As children gain skill, private speech becomes inner speech or thought. Overemphasizes language: didn"t address cultures that don"t rely on verbal dialogues for learning, i. e. mayan agricultural town. Children spend more time observing adult work than having adult-child conversations. 2 years on kids help with farming, meal prep, etc. Ignored biological influences: doesn"t address how motor, perceptual, memory or problem solving create changes in social experiences. Assisted discovery: teachers guide learning, tailor interests to each child"s zpd, fostered by peer collaboration. Reciprocal teaching: used to improve reading, teacher and 2-4 students, collaborative group takes turns leading group on a passage, apply 4 cognitive strategies. Predicting: *video example of a reciprocal teaching group in a classroom.
