3 Levels of Learning
Level 1: Concrete
(primary)
Level 2: Communication
(secondary)
The child will then have to ‘go back’ cognitively (alone or with a
mediating adult) to try to fill in those gaps
Zone of Proximal Development
The child will then have to ‘go back’ cognitively (alone or with a
mediating adult) to try to fill in those gaps and if successful,
remove the learning barrier.
If, however, the mediating adult remains just ahead of the child’s
independent knowledge, guiding the child to learn more
challenging concepts and modifying his/her mediation according
to the child’s needs, the child will continue to learn and create a
strong foundation for future concepts.
Three Types of Mediation
• Creating Learning Environments
(Intentionality/Reciprocity)
– Encourage engagement with the environment
• Ex. Initiating communication, responding, focusing attention
