Areas Piaget Vygotsky: Theory Comparison

Piaget and Vygotsky had both overlapping and differing views on child development and learning. While Piaget saw children as active learners exploring on their own, Vygotsky emphasized the role of social interaction and language in learning. A key difference was that Piaget focused on stages of cognitive development, whereas Vygotsky introduced the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development to describe how children can develop skills beyond their current abilities with guidance from others. Both theorists made important contributions to understanding how children learn, though they differed in their perspectives on the influence of social factors and experience.
