Option 4 : Expository teaching

Lev Vygotsky is a Russian Psychologist who proposed the theory of Socio-cultural development. In this theory, Vygotsky emphasizes the role of society and culture in the development of the child. According to him, there are three main needs for the development of the child and these are- Social interaction, Culture, and Language.

  Vygotsky also proposed three basic needs of students during learning, these are:

  • ZPD (zone of proximal development):  The difference between the learning of a child by self and the learning of a child with the help of others(society, culture, etc).
  • Scaffolding: Scaffolding is the term, given by Vygotsky, in which he proposed that the temporary help given by the teachers, family, friends, etc. to the children in his learning. 
  • MKO (more knowledgeable others)- Vygotsky defined the “More Knowledgeable Other” (MKO) as anyone who has a better understanding or a higher ability level than the learner, particularly in regards to a specific task, concept, or process. MKO could be teachers, parents, tutors, and even peers.
  • All these three types of needs during learning are based on cooperative learning, scaffolding, and assisted learning (MKO). Hence we can conclude that Expository learning was discouraged by Lev Vygotsky in the context of the teaching-learning process.​

Hint

  • Expository teaching is a lecture presentation or telling strategy used during instruction. The teacher is in control of presenting the subject matter and directs the students through the lesson.

  • Lev Vygotsky totally opposes lecture-based teaching methods.

  According to Vygotsky, there are three main factors that affect the learning of the child and these are- Social interaction, Culture, and Language:

  • Social interaction: ​​Children try to interact with people.
    • Example: Peer groups, family members, etc.
  • Culture: ​Children adopt the culture by interaction. 
  • Language: Children can easily intimate their primary language through interaction or communication.
