This is the second week, since the start of the study unit one and I am still as much excited as I was at the beginning of the first week and I am still looking forward to learning more about the module, inside and outside. As I continued studying and going through the study unit I learned about the two theories which are Vygotsky and Zone of Proximal development.

The theory of Vigotsky teaches about the importance of social interaction on the development of children and their interaction with individuals and their environments. Vigotsky opposed against Piaget that children learn by interacting with the world and their existing skills or knowledge. Vigotsky Zone of proximal development (ZPD) is the distance between the actual developmental level determined when a child has the ability to do things by themselves without an adult assistance and when they need  help from an adult to complete a certain task.
