"While there can be wide variation of activities and content in a Vygotskian classroom, four principles always apply: 
1. Learning and development is a social, collaborative activity 
2. The Zone of Proximal Development can serve as a guide for curricular and lesson planning 
3. Classroom activity should be reality-based and applicable to the real world 
4. Learning extends to the home and other out-of-school environments and activities and all learning situations should be related. "

Zone of Proximal Development

https://www.google.co.nz/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=iFOsVpK_D6Pu8wfwjb6gCQ&gws_rd=ssl#q=zone+of+proximal+development+definition

The zone of proximal development, often abbreviated as ZPD, is the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help. It is a concept introduced, yet not fully developed, by Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky (1896–1934) during the last ten years of his life.
