Theoretical Framework

     The problem of students, including those with disabilities, entering preschool not exhibiting social-emotional competence is grounded in Social Constructivism (Gupta, Henninger, IV, & Vinh, 2014, p. 37; Lee, Calkins, & Seob Shin, 2016, p. 796; Hollingsworth & Winter, 2013, p. 1778). This theory was originally developed by Lev Vygostsky (1978) and was primarily used to study children's interactions in contexts wherein adults provided support (Vygotsky, 1978). This writer believes that social constructivism is a good fit for his research's problem because of its emphasis on adult support and social learning.

    Ok good Daniel! I agree this can be an appropriate theory for you! I would just like to see the connection fleshed out a bit more in Assignment 2.
