This subtopic covers Social Constructivism which posits that knowledge is constructed through social interactions and collaborative meaning-making.
- Collaborative Learning: Learning environments that incorporate group activities, discussions, and peer teaching foster deeper engagement and understanding. Learning engineering teams create collaborative spaces—such as forums, group projects, or peer-review systems—to support these interactions.
- Scaffolding and Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): The ZPD, introduced by Vygotsky, describes the range of tasks learners can complete with guidance but not independently. Learning engineering teams use this principle to design support systems that help learners advance progressively until they achieve independent mastery.
