3rd Point - Learning Through Social Interaction

Learning can only occur when there is a good relationship between teacher and student. Below is a good website about community learning. Vygotsky developed the theory of social interaction. He asserts that there needs to be reciprocal teaching which is a dialogue between students and teachers. This promotes discussiona and goes beyond just rite learning. The classroom should be divided into work spaces where there is group work and collaboration. We can learn more from our peers than just listening to the teacher.http://chd.gmu.edu/immersion/knowledgebase/theorists/constructivism/vygotsky.htm
