Select a standard and then describe how Vygotsky’s concept of the zone of proximal development would inform how a teacher

Think Like A Teacher…
(10 pts.) Bruner posited that:
 Learning is an active process. Learners select and transform information.
 Learners make appropriate decisions and postulate hypotheses and test their effectiveness.
 Learners use prior experience to fit new information into the pre-existing structures.
 Scaffolding is the process through which able peers or adults offer supports for learning. This assistance becomes gradually less
frequent as it becomes unnecessary.
 The intellectual development includes three stages. The enactive stage which refers to learning through actions.
The iconic stage which refers to the learners’ use of pictures or models.  The symbolic stage which refers to the development of
the ability to think in abstract terms.
 The notion of spiral curriculum states that a curriculum should revisit basic ideas, building on them until the student grasps the full
formal concept.
 Although extrinsic motivation may work in the short run, intrinsic motivation has more value.

practice?
