皮亚杰认为“教学应符合儿童发展水平”。而维果茨基则提出“最近发展区”概念,认为教学要走在发展的前面。于是不少人就认为这两种观点是对立的。还有一些推崇“最近发展区” 的人甚至将皮亚杰对发展与教学的关系的看法作为对立面加以批驳。 Piaget believes that “teaching should be in line with the level of children’s development.” However, Vygotsky put forward the concept of “recent development zone” and think that teaching should go ahead of development. So many people think that these two points of view is the opposite. Still others who favor the “recent development zone” even challenge Piaget’s view of the relationship between development and teaching as a counter-measure.
