ECE 560 Topic 4 Assignment 2 Sociocultural Learning Theory
Learning theories are the foundation for the design of instruction. These theories influence the how and why educators choose strategies for different situations.
For this assignment, research Vygotsky’s sociocultural learning theory. Imagine you are the director of a child care center. Create a digital brochure to use as a marketing tool with families to promote learner development. In the brochure, describe Vygotsky’s sociocultural learning theory, and explain how your child care center integrates this theory to meet the needs of young children.
In your brochure, discuss the following:
The roles of children, their families, and other community members according to Vygotsky’s sociocultural learning theory.
How the theory fits into the nature versus nurture debate to promote social, emotional, and learning outcomes for young children.
Technological resources families can use at home to support the Zone of Proximal Development.
Methods educators can use to collaborate with families to establish a positive and respectful learning environment for young children that reflect Vygotsky’s sociocultural learning theory.
Support your brochure’s content with 2-3 scholarly references.
