Question 1
The Russian theorist Vygotsky stressed that:
◦ the zone of proximal development defines the area of potential growth for the developing child.
◦ social play is an important aspect of the child's learning world.
◦ cultural and social interchange are the primary means by which children increase what they know.
◦ Vygotsky's theory includes all of the above.
Question 2
The educational philosophy and methods developed by Froebel more than two centuries ago are seen today when teachers:
◦ instruct children to read and write.
◦ use "time out" for inappropriate behavior.
◦ reward children for good behavior.
◦ encourage children to sing songs, build with blocks, and engage in free play.
