His Sociocultural theory is a learning theory that looks at the important contributions society and culture play in an individual’s development. He believes that everyone learns on two levels: first through interactions with others, and then within the individual themselves. Once an individual can learn and acquire concepts with the guidance of other individuals, they will then be able to perform independently. (Cognitive Development - Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory ) Culture is passed on by three ways; one through imitative learning – the child tries to imitate or copy another
Mental tools like internal and external mediators, speech, writing, scaffolding and shared activities play a significant role in the process of cognition. Language, social environment, and culture influence the child’s learning process. Reciprocal teaching is one of Vygotsky’s approaches widely used in schools today. This approach enables higher level of thinking like summarizing, clarifying, predicting, and questioning within students. In contrast to Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, socio-cultural theory states that development and learning have mutual effects on each other.
Socialisation is a very important part of childhood, as it benefits us throughout life. There will be an in-depth look at socialisation and can gain an understanding of how students learn, children’s physical, social and intellectual development, and how culture and other factors impact on teaching strategies.

These could have included the influence of a prominent adult figure or unconscious motives.
