Answer

Explanation

Social constructivism was developed by post -revolutionary Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky This approach emphasises the collaborative nature of much learning ,but rejected the assumption made by cognitivists such as Piaget that it was possible to separate learning from its social context .He argued that all cognitive functions originate in social interactions .He believed that learning did not simply comprise the assimilation and accommodation of new knowledge by leariners rather it was the process by which learners were integrated into a knowledge community .
