Discussion
Read the following statements and choose the correct option :
Assertion (A) : Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky differ in their perspective on the influence of language on cognitive development in children.
Reason (R) : In discovery learning, teacher provides opportunities and students derive information for themselves.
Answer: B
Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The Assertion is true. Piaget saw language as a product of cognitive development, reflecting thought that is already present, while Vygotsky saw language as a tool that shapes thought, with social speech turning into inner speech that guides problem solving.
The Reason is also true as a description of discovery learning: the teacher arranges opportunities and learners find out information for themselves. But it says nothing about the role of language in cognition, so it cannot explain why Piaget and Vygotsky differ. Options calling either statement false are therefore wrong.
