• Application of Vygotsky's theory went beyond the application of independent assisted à need for discovery, Teachers guide the learning process, designing interventions for each zone of proximal development (ZPD). This is also done by the collaboration of peers.
• The presence of teachers who participated in the activities of children in terms of Vygotsky called Scaffolding, and teachers act as a Scaffolder, namely adults who can help a child's degree of understanding. But with the record if the adult is already considered a model by the child.
• Teaching methods are based on the theory of Vygotsky in which teachers and students 2 or 4 people collaborate to form study groups. Conversations that occur to form the zone of proximal development (ZPD).
• Although reciprocal teaching using the collaboration of peers, teachers present to provide guidance, help to ensure it runs smoothly. The involvement and participation of teachers in learning activities is also important to do.
• An important factor of learning cooperatively, which is a learning environment in which peer groups work according to the same destination.
