Proponent and Explanation
, Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory emphasizes the importance of social interaction and
cultural context in the development of cognitive skills. According to Vygotsky,
learning is a socially mediated process where knowledge is co-constructed through
communication and collaboration with others—peers, teachers, and family members.
This theory posits that learning occurs in a cultural context and that tools such as
language play a crucial role in cognitive development (Vygotsky, 1978).

what they can achieve with guidance. This theory underscores the significance of
scaffolding—providing the necessary support to help learners bridge the gap
between their current knowledge and the learning goals (Vygotsky, 1978).
