Jean Piaget's Theory-What are the three basic components? There Are Three Basic Components To Piaget's Cognitive Theory: Schemas (building blocks of knowledge). Adaptation processes that enable the transition from one stage to another ( equilibrium, assimilation, and accommodation ). Stages of Cognitive Development : sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational. Assimilation and Accommodation Jean Piaget (1952; see also Wadsworth, 2004) viewed intellectual growth as a process of  adaptation  (adjustment) to the world. This happens through: Assimilation – Which is using an existing schema to deal with a new object or situation. Accommodation – This happens when the existing schema (knowledge) does not work, and needs to be changed to deal with a new object or situation. Equilibration – This is the force which moves development along. Piaget believed that cognitive development did not pro...

Thus, the term “proximal” refers to those skills that the learner is “close” to mastering. Vygotsky's Definition of ZPD The concept, zone of proximal development was developed by Soviet psychologist and social constructivist  Lev Vygotsky  (1896 – 1934). The zone of proximal development (ZPD) has been defined as: "the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem-solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers" (Vygotsky, 1978, p. 86). Vygotsky has developed a sociocultural approach to cognitive development. For Vygotsky, the environment in which children grow up will influence how they...
