This theory gives a **framework for cognitive development** argues that the **key role in cognition development** lies in **social interactions**. In his own words, "//​every function in the child'​s cultural development appears twice: first, on the social level, and later, on the individual level; first, between people (interpsychological) and then inside the child (intrapsychological). This applies equally to voluntary attention, to logical memory, and to the formation of concepts. All the higher functions originate as actual relationships between individuals//"​((Vygotsky,​ L.S.

 First implication of Vygotsky'​s theory comes from the emphasized **importance of social interaction**. In accordance with that, **interaction** between learners should be **encouraged** during the educational process, since it **will enhance learning**. Another effective form of teaching should be **//​scaffolding//​** - providing learner with **help** when and as much **as needed**. First implication of Vygotsky'​s theory comes from the emphasized **importance of social interaction**.
