Option 1 : (i), (ii)

Lev Vygotsky is a Russian Psychologist who proposed the theory of Socio-cultural development. In this theory, Vygotsky emphasizes the role of society and culture in the development of the child. According to him, there are three main needs for the cognitive development of the child and these are- Social interaction, Culture, and Language.

  According to Vygotsky, there are three main factors that affect the cognitive development of the child and these are- Social interaction, Culture, and Language:

  • Social interaction: ​​Children try to interact with people.
    • Example: Peer groups, family members, etc.
  • Culture: ​Children adopt the culture by interaction. 
  • Language: Children can easily intimate their primary language through interaction or communication.

Thus we can say that culture and language are the main needs for the cognitive development of the child as per the socio-cultural theory of Lev Vygotsky.

Hint

  • Modification and building of schemas is the ability in which a child build their knowledge or modify it.
  • Stimulus-response connections are proposed by Ivan Pavlov.

  Vygotsky also proposed three basic needs of students during learning, these are:

  • ZPD (zone of proximal development):  The difference between the learning of a child by self and the learning of a child with the help of others(society, culture, etc).
  • Scaffolding: Scaffolding is the term, given by Vygotsky, in which he proposed that the temporary help given by the teachers, family, friends, etc. to the children in his learning. 
  • MKO (more knowledgeable others)- Vygotsky defined the “More Knowledgeable Other” (MKO) as anyone who has a better understanding or a higher ability level than the learner, particularly in regards to a specific task, concept, or process. MKO could be teachers, parents, tutors, and even peers.
