Teaching for the 21st century: A case for dialogic pedagogy

Dialogism

A theory that recognizes the learners' understanding and knowledge based on their own experiences prior to entering school. Rather than simply taking in knowledge, learners take the opportunity to reinforce and build their own understanding of the topic, derived from what they already know and what is being presented to them.

Constructivism (in Education)

Proposed by Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, the sociocultural theory of development posits that human cognitive development is fundamentally rooted in one's culture. According to this perspective, a child's social environment provides the foundation for the formation of language and thought. Consequently, the language an individual speaks and their cognitive processes are shaped by their cultural background. Vygotsky also emphasized the significance of historical influences on an individual's developmental process.
