Theorist and Forest School

John Dewy   "believed that children should learn from doing. He recommended that education should involve real life materials and experiences and that education should encourage experimentation and independent thinking. He believed that education should be both active and interactive and must involve the social world of the child and the community"-Norfolk

Lev Vygotsky "theory of social constructivism is that "knowledge is constructed through social interaction" -umanitoba.ca.

Jerome Bruner's term "scaffolding refers to the steps taken to reduce the degree of freedom in carrying out some task so that the child can concentrate on the difficult skill she is in the process of acquiring" (Bruner, 1978, p. 19). "Scaffolding involves helpful, structured interaction between an adult and a child with the aim of helping the child achieve a specific goal."
