Answer to Question 2

Students' responses are likely to vary considerably. However, they should include reference to at least three of the following ideas:
 Cognitive tool: A concept, principle or other aspect of Vygotsky's theory that enabled the respondent to think more effectively about some aspect of the course content.
 Internalization: A socially-based process occurring in the class that the respondent gradually adopted as his or her own and became able to use independently.
 Zone of proximal development: One or more tasks that the respondent could initially perform only with the support of the instructor, classmates, the textbook, or other external entity.
 Scaffolding: Specific form of support that was gradually removed over time.
