Strategies to Engage Online Students and Reduce Attrition Rates. (2007, background): “The goal of learning communities is for students to work together and expand their knowledge base collaboratively (Anderson, 2004; Vygotsky, 1978 ).”
Gestures: Their Role in Teaching and Learning (2001, background): “Gestures can be regarded as mediating devices that link the social and the psychological (Vygotsky, 1978).”
Head to head: a systematic review of the research evidence on mentoring new head teachers (2005, background): “…closely to the Brunerian notion of ‘scaffolding’ (Wood et al., 1976), a kind of support which allows people to do with assistance what they cannot do without assistance, working and learning in what Vygotsky called the ‘zone of proximal development’ (ZPD) (Vygotsky, 1978; Tharp & Gallimore, 1988).”
The ‘Document-Based Lesson’: Bringing disciplinary inquiry into high school history classrooms with adolescent struggling readers (2012, background): “Sociocultural learning theory maintains that discussion enables students to practice and internalize higher-level ways of thinking and reading (Vygotsky 1978, 1981; Rogoff 1990; Lave and Wenger 1991).”
Improvements from a Flipped Classroom May Simply Be the Fruits of Active Learning (2015, background): “Vygotsky also put forth the idea that an instructor (or a more capable peer) can provide scaffolding by which students can perform above their current level of development, thus facilitating their learning (Vygotsky, 1978).”
Learning by Taking Apart: Deconstructing Code by Reading, Tracing, and Debugging (2016, background): “…the1900s and gained popularity in the West by the 1980s, touches on several key ideas related to scaffolding and fading: the relevance of prior knowledge, one’s learning potential given a range of supports, and the view that learning is a social process, not just an individual cognitive one [74].”
Towards a theory of curriculum implementation with particular reference to science education in developing countries (2003, background): “…the zone of proximal development as the: distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers’ (Vygotsky 1978: 86).”
Challenges in Emotional Regulation in Asperger Syndrome and High‐Functioning Autism (2004, background): “Early developing abilities in this area include the ability to use inner language for self-regulation (Vygotsky, 1978) and the employment of language-based avoidance strategies (Prizant, Schuler, Wetherby, & Rydell, 1997; Prizant et al.”
Cultural-Historical Activity Theory: Exploring a Theory to Inform Practice and Research (2014, background): “…learn by doing, and communicate in and via their actions; (2) humans make, employ, and adapt tools of all kinds to learn and communicate; and (3) community is central to the process of making and interpreting meaning— and thus to all forms of learning, communicating, and acting (Vygotsky, 1978).”
Academic music: music instruction to engage third-grade students in learning basic fraction concepts (2012, background): “Influenced largely by Vygotsky’s work (see Vygotsky, 1978), mathematical development has been viewed as learning tools and signs that are elements of specific communicative systems, which vary by culture.”
Concept Development and Transfer in Context‐Based Science Education (2011, background): “In these circumstances, the general conditions for learning are augmented by the opportunities for ‘cognitive apprenticeship’ in which the teacher demonstrates how a focal event may be interpreted, taking care to work within the ‘zone of proximal development’ of each of the students (Becker & Varela”
Second language interaction: current perspectives and future trends (2003, methodology): “It is inspired by the work of the Russian developmental psychologist Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934; Vygotsky, 1978) and his followers (e.”
Child-directed speech: relation to socioeconomic status, knowledge of child development and child vocabulary skill* (2008, unknown): “likely to promote optimal development (Vygotsky, 1978).”
Teaching in a play-based curriculum: Theory, practice and evidence of developmental education for young children (2013, background): “Only in this sense play can be considered a leading activity, that determines child development’ (Vygotsky 1978: 103).”
Intercultural Questioning, Discovery and Tension in Internet-mediated Language Learning Partnerships (2005, background): “As Vygotsky (1978) states in his developmental approach to human psychology, one of the best ways to understand a phenomenon or system may be by looking at its pathology, i.e. those points where it is disrupted or where it does not run smoothly.”
