Vygotsky's Principle of Social Constructivism

The Zone of Proximal Development can serve as a guide for curricular and lesson planning.  
        Lev Vygotsky defined the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) as the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help and as mentioned  the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peer. It serves as a guide in the sense that our main concern in making our lesson plan particularly in curricular guidance is our students. By guiding them through the process of scaffolding we can create a more effective classroom environment as well as were to start and are the primary concerns needed by the learners. Through ZPD learning will become easy and accessible to the students through knowing their levels in specific lesson or subject .
  Out-of-school experiences should be related to the child's school experience.
           Co-curricular as well as extra-curricular activities must be related in the teaching learning process. Social context as well as learning inside the classroom must coincide for the learner to acquire knowledge effectively.  Through the help of social experiences, the learner can directly determine the importance of learning and its contribution to one's life.
