Description

The role of education is to enhance cognitive development among students. Students need to actively participate in classroom activities in order for them to develop cognitively. Vygotsky (1962, as cited in Poole, Warren & Nunuz, 2007) mentioned that children gain more skills and widen their knowledge through interaction and socialization with more competent peers and teachers in the classrooms. Students also develop more systematic, logical, and rational concept when they engage with more skilled people around them (Santrock, 2008).
