SOCIO-CULTURAL THEORY
A person's way of thinking can be understood by
tracing the origin of his conscious actions from the
social interactions which are based on the history of
his life. According to Vygotsky the development of a
child's cognition can occur through collaboration
between members from one generation of family to
another.

ADVANTAGES
• Children have wide opportunities to develop their zones of proximal
development or their potential through learning and development;
• Children are given extensive opportunities to integrate the declarative
knowledge they have learned with procedural knowledge that can be done for
tasks or problem solving;
• The process of learning and learning is not transferal but is more of a
construct, namely the process of constructing new knowledge or meaning
together between all parties involved.
DISADVANTAGES
It is limited to visible behavior, less visible learning processes such as concept
formation, learning from various learning sources, problem solving and ability
to think are difficult to observe directly because it is examined by behavioral
theorists
Language as a
“ Mediational Resource
According to Vygotsky, human development is mediated not only
by people but also by things which are culturally constructed and
historically rooted.
Children’s intellectual development takes place not only with the
support of more capable peers or adults through social
interaction, but also with the involvement of social and cultural
artifacts.

Discourse as a re-Mediating Resource
Discourse constitutes the major form of activity in the
classroom and is the major mediational resource for
teaching and learning.
studies of classroom discourse have focused very
much on teachers’ language, such as the questions
asked and the feedback provided, the cognitive
demand made on students,
the language used by students in student-teacher
interaction or student-student interaction and the
cognitive processes reflected in the language used
