Piaget / Vygotsky Reflection

Both Piaget and Vygotsky are amazing theoriest but I find that Vygotsky's theory is more my preference for what I would use towards my teaching. The theory is based on social culture which I beleive that communication is the number one aspect in teaching. I agree that learning is situated and colaberative. Myself as a future teacher, would love to have that communication aspect of being able to work together with my students.I beleive that challenging the students is also a great aspect in Vygotsky's theory. Challenging students promotes growth in learning and that's what I'd like to do in my future classroom. Piaget does have some interesting point but the fact is Vygotsky is jsut a few steps ahead of Piaget.
