ASSIGNMENT 2 (693157)
8TH MAY 202
My commitment to the sociocultural theory is rooted in its insight that learning is
inherently social and culturally contextualized, inspired by Lev Vygotsky's foundational
ideas. This approach recognizes the diversity within my classroom as a rich
educational resource, leading me to foster a learning environment that respects and
values every student's cultural identity, promoting a sense of community and mutual
respect.
Employing sociocultural theory in my teaching, I focus on collaborative learning to
encourage peer interactions and the co-construction of knowledge. This not only
supports academic achievement but also cultivates social skills and cultural sensitivity.
Additionally, I apply the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) to
provide customized support, guiding students to stretch their learning potential while
fostering independence.
Furthermore, I infuse my curriculum .....................................................................

PREVIEW OF WORK:
In your response explain why you support the sociocultural theory How are
you using the theory in your teaching?
I support the sociocultural theory because it aligns with my belief that learning is
fundamentally a social process, deeply influenced by cultural contexts and
interactions. This theory, grounded in the work of Lev Vygotsky, posits that cognitive
development is not merely an individual's internal achievement but is significantly
shaped through engagement with more knowledgeable others within specific cultural
and historical settings. This perspective resonates with me for several reasons.
First, it acknowledges the diverse backgrounds and experiences students bring to
the classroom, recognizing that these differences are not barriers to learning but rich
resources to be leveraged. In embracing this view, I strive to create a learning
environment where each student's cultural identity is acknowledged and valued,
fostering a sense of belonging and respect among all learners.
In my teaching practice, I use the sociocultural theory as a guide to design and
implement instructional strategies that promote active collaboration among students.
I facilitate group projects, peer tutoring sessions, and class discussions that
encourage students to share their perspectives and learn from each other. This
approach not only enhances academic learning but also develops students' social
skills and cultural awareness…
Moreover, I utilize the concept of ………………………………………………………
