ASSIGNMENT #4 Vygotskian Approach Activity – Fantasy Game There will be two lists of fantasy scenarios; one that all children should be able to recognize, such as shopping, playing house, going to the playground, etc. And the others will be less common, such as going to a car repair shop, building a building, being a doctor, etc. ., these will have instructions on how to teach the scenarios to children so they can play them themselves. The teacher will be present every step of the way until the children no longer need the teacher's social input and can begin to play with each other as well as with extremely common ones. By doing these activities with children, the teacher will be able to show children other daily activities that they may not be exposed to regularly and have a better understanding of what is happening in their lives. Once both agree that the child must be an active learner in the process in order to become a functioning adult, this will happen later in life. But on how children learn and when the developmental process should occur, this is where they differ. For example, Vygotsky believes that learning occurs before development and that children learn through their social interactions with their caregivers. He also believes that learning is a continuous and gradual process. For example, when learning to cross the street, a Vygotskian approach is the way to go. The child receives all the social stimuli that his parents give him: the road is dangerous, we don't cross when cars pass, we have to wait for the light to indicate that it is our turn to walk, we have to look both ways before crossing, etc. Then the child slowly starts to cross the road with the parents (still holding their hands) and slowly but surely when the child is old enough he can now cross the road on his own without any harm to
