Vygotsky Extended: Learning is NOT…
Linear or one-wayLeading only from teacher to studentSimply knowing what the teacher knows
– “For present-day education, it is not so important to teach a certain quantity of knowledge as it is to inculcate the ability to acquire such knowledge and to make use of it.” (Vygotsky, 1997, p. 339)

Vygotsky Extended: Teaching as an act of Mentoring…
Learning is reciprocal and dynamic– Education is a process of mutual and continuous
adaptation of both camps (teacher/student) (Vygotsky, 1997, p. 349)
A collaborative process– Participants engaged in genuine activity
• Child • Child’s social environment• Teacher as director (Vygotsky, 1997)

Freire: Teaching/Mentoring is…Authentic– teacher does not adopt the role of mentor
Challenging – the student’s creative freedom
• stimulates the construction of the student’s autonomy
A liberatory task– transcends the instructive task
Believing – in total autonomy/freedom/development of the mentee
Freire, P. (1997). A response. In P. Freire & J. Fraser (Eds.), Mentoring the mentor: A critical dialogue with Paulo Freire (304-329). New York: Peter Lang.
…as lived experience by making education as lifelike as possible with the educative process being wholehearted purposeful activity that would be consistent with the child’s goals (Dewey, 1916/1966)
• It is not possible to be a teacher without loving teaching (p. 15)
• It is through hearing the learners…that democratic teachers increasingly prepare themselves to be heard by learners (p. 65)
• Interest the students• Thematically interconnect topics• Unfold learning from a new perspective by reviewing, then adding new info
(Vygotsky, 1997) (Freire, 1998)
