The social cognition learning model asserts that culture is the prime determinant of individual development. Humans are the only species to have created culture, and every human child develops in the context of a culture. Therefore, a child's learning development is affected in ways large and small by the culture--including the culture of family environment--in which he or she is enmeshed.
Vygotsky's theory is known as the Cultural-Historical theory. This theory states that until children learn to use their "mental tools", their learning ability and behavior is largely controlled by their environment.

Lev Vygotsky
Vygotsky is best known for is theory of language acquisition, particularly the idea of scaffolding and the zone of proximal development. The scaffolding theory is that you help support learning until eventually the student doesn't need help and so the 'scaffolding' can be taken away, as the student has learned what was required. The zone of proximal development is much the same as Steve Krashen's idea of i+1; you give students input which is a little above their level and challenging, as there is no point in only giving them knowledge at the level they are at.
it is argued that key workers and classroom assistants are in schools and nurserys as Vygotsky states children need the help of adults or somebody with greater knowledge to help them understand and come to grips with new concepts. some schools also have the older children helping the yunger children with their reading.
