Piaget and Vygotsky reading


This reading I found to be extremely helpful to me. It reminded me a lot of my Education Psychology and Measurement class because it talked about Vygotsky and Piaget which are always really interesting to read about. Every time I read about the two of them I always try to decide which I agree with more, but it’s hard because they do have some similarities between them. I liked that the article used vocabulary words and defined them along the sides. It helped me as I read to have the definitions, since it’s been a long time since I’ve used the terms. I also really liked how they gave real life situations and experiments, it put most of the concepts into a situation that jogged my memory and made it easier for me to understand better. Piaget’s stages were combined with Vygotsky’s social constructivism, I think that they would work well together.
