Jean-Jacques Rousseau Swiss-born French philosopher believed children should have opportunities to construct their own ideas and that children and adults learn differently.

Lev Vygotsky a Russian philosopher belied children learn best when they socialize and play with language (social-cultural theory). He also developed the zone of proximal development which refers to scaffolding and adding/building to already achieved knowledge.
