Exploring Piaget and Vygotsky: Two sides of the Same Coin
Abstract
The words, thus the names of Piaget and Vygotsky, elicit strong beliefs, impressions, and thoughts regarding two men who have greatly influenced educators in their understandings of child development as well as impacting educational practices. Interestingly, both were born the same year, 1896. Piaget (1896-1980), was born in Switzerland and lived 84 years, whereas Vygotsky (1896-1934) was born in Russia and lived 37 years. Both were creative and important thinkers in the realm of understanding child development. The individuals, Piaget and Vygotsky, brought meaning to understanding how children cognitively develop.
