Question:

What are the differences between Piaget and Vygotsky's view on the role of culture in development?

Author: Ahmad Danial



Answer:

Piaget's view - believed that children in different cultures develop in basically the same way. In that respect, he considers his stages of development to be universal and context- and culture-free. Vygotsky's view - believed that culture provides the context in which development occurs; we develop by internalising the cognitive tools embedded within specific cultures. Researchers support this view (Cole & Packer, 2011; Morra, Gobbo, Marini, & Sheese, 2008; Rogoff, 2003).
