Vygotsky was born in western Russia. he is well known
theorist in the area of social development and education. he claimed
that cognitive functions are linked to the external /social world. He
said, “the children learn in a systematic and logical way as a result of
dialogue and interaction with the skilled helper with the zone of
proximal development” (ZPD)
ZPD has two boundaries. Lower boundary is that the learner
can do activities independently. An upper limit of ZPD is those
outcomes (SLOs) that the learner cannot achieve even with the help
of competent teacher

scaffolding is another concept that the teacher changes the level of
support as the learner needs change.
Here the teacher is involved at each step of learning. The teacher
gradually decreases the support as he observes that the child can
perform independently. In this way we can describe how a child
becomes socially competent.

To build or a development of social competence depends upon the
three factors

or society.

4-Albert bandura: bornin 1925 in Canada
Bendura’sreciprocal determinism model indicates that these
three factors are mutually related. Each factor affects others equally
and changes in one will result changes in the others. For example a
child's belief about him herself and his competence can affect social
behaviors. And will have impact on classroom environment and vice
versa
