Vygotsky's Cognitive Development • Key Concepts: o Scaffolding, Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), role of more knowledgeable others. o Emphasis on social and cultural interaction in learning. 4.

Learning Theories • Behaviorist: Teacher-directed, mastery of basic skills. • Constructivist: Student-centered learning, knowledge building. • Cooperative/Collaborative: Focuses on group interactions; either teacher-led (cooperative) or student-led (collaborative). • Information Processing: Emphasizes memory, metacognition, and attention. • Social Cognitive: Focus on self-regulation, modeling, reciprocal teaching. • Humanistic: Emphasizes emotions, motivation, and a safe, engaging environment. 9. Assessment Strategies • Formative Assessment o Ongoing, provides feedback during learning, helps guide instruction. o Includes written responses, selected-response (e.g., multiple-choice), and constructed-response (e.g., short answer, essay). • Summative Assessment o Evaluates learning outcomes after instruction; includes performance assessments. • Norm-Referenced o Compares student scores to others. • Criterion-Referenced o Measures against set standards or criteria.
