Vygotsky - Scaffolding Theory

Vygotsky believed that we learn by building on what we already know. “Learning is cognitive and shaped by individual differences and influence of culture.” Robyler (2006), p. 39. Vygotsky coined the term “Zone of Proximal Development” as the difference between the way adults and children interpret the world.
