We believe that learning is best conceptualised through a social constructivist theory of learning. A key tenet of this is the view that learning is constructed by the learner, as opposed to the traditional, \u201ctransmission\u201d model of teaching and learning in which knowledge is passed on to students fully formed, ready to be assimilated. Furthermore, learning is primarily a social activity \u2013 knowledge and skills are constructed through interaction with others. This is an extension of Vygotsky\u2019s sociocultural theory, which maintains the primacy of social interactions, mediated through the prevailing culture, in a child\u2019s development (Salkind, 2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridgeenglish.org\/blog\/developing-teachers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read full article<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is an article from Cambridge English written by Graeme Harrison.
