Which one of the following is central to learning?

Options

A. Conditioning
B. Rote memorisation
C. Imitation
D. Meaning-making

Answer

A

Explanation

Vygotsky's work is extensive and covers many aspects of the development of children's meaning-making processes in social and cultural contexts. In psychology, meaning-making is the process of how persons construe, understand, or make sense of life events, relationships, and the self. Through meaning-making, persons are "retaining, reaffirming, revising, or replacing elements of their orienting system to develop more nuanced, complex and useful systems". Meaning making is a construction of knowledge through interpretive interactions with reading and writing.
