Summary: Social Development Theory argues that social interaction precedes development; consciousness and cognition are the end product of socialization and social behavior. Originator: Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934). Key terms: Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) Vygotsky’s Social Development Theory Vygotsky’s Social Development Theory is the work of Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934), who lived during Russian Revolution. Vygotsky’s work was largely unkown to the West until it was published in 1962. Vygotsky’s theory is one of the foundations of constructivism. It asserts three major themes: Major themes:
development of self-healing systems capable of making inferences about their own behavior, such as diagnosing faults and performance degradations. uses a cost-efficient technique for adaptive diagnosis that combines probabilistic inference with online, active selection of the most-informative measurements called probes. Probes are end-to-end test transactions that collect information about the availability and performance of a distributed system. Given the probe results (symptoms), RAIL performs Bayesian inference in order to find the most likely explanation (cause), An important difference between RAIL's approach and ''passive'' data analysis is in RAIL's ability to select and execute probes online. This approach, called active probing, uses an information-theoretic criterion called information gain in order to select adaptively only a small set of the most informative probes at any given time; this approach significantly reduces the overall number of probes required
