There are many theories in psychology that are related to different schools of psychology such as cognitive, humanistic, behavioristic, etc. These theories are propounded by eminent psychologists to provide a framework to understand different aspects of human behavior.'Lev Vygotsky', a Soviet psychologist, has propounded the "Socio-cultural Theory". This theory implies the idea that social interaction plays a crucial role in the learner's development. According to Vygotsky, social interaction is the primary cause of learners' development as his theory emphasizes that children learn through interaction and collaboration with skilled and knowledgeable people.In his theory, Vygotsky proposed the term 'scaffolding' which refers to providing hints, prompts, and cues to children according to their individual needs.A teacher/adult can scaffold the child by adjusting the support offered to a child to fit the child's current level of performance and to help her to reach her zone of proximal development.Through scaffolding, required assistance and temporary support are imparted to the children to enhance their learning skills.Hence, it could be concluded that according to Lev Vygotsky's theory of learning this strategy of learning will act as a scaffold for learning.
