How are a Piagetian and a Vygotskian classroom similar? How do they differ?

What will be an ideal response?


Both Piagetian and Vygotskian classrooms emphasize active participation and acceptance of individual differences. But a Vygotskian classroom goes beyond independent discovery to promote assisted discovery. Teachers guide children's learning with explanations, demonstrations, and verbal prompts, tailoring their interventions to each child's zone of proximal development. Assisted discovery is aided by peer collaboration, as children with varying abilities work in groups, teaching and helping one another.
