Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The psychosocial development of human beings, according to Vygotsky’s writings, is marked by the quality of contact established between subjects and the surrounding culture. If we imagine that the referred development takes place in certain social contexts, among them, at school, we can conclude that the school is a relevant place in promoting experiences that favor this process. Considering the theories and concepts used by Vygotsky to understand the development of children and adolescents, it is CORRECT to state that
A
the most important variable that influences human development is its congenital condition and is limited to innate potentials that can be perfected by the school based on the mediation process.
B
the subject will develop the functions of language, thought and control of his own conduct only if, in principle, such functions are experienced as an interpsychic activity (between people).
C
successive stages of development invariably come about as a result of intrapsychic activities (within the person); it will be up to the school to favor the cultural and family demands around the child from the mediation process.
D
from the exploration of the body and play, the child gets to know the world in a continuous process of mediation in which the school plays a preponderant role in favoring intrapsychic activity (within the person).
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vygotsky’s social development theory asserts that a child’s cognitive development and learning ability can be guided and mediated by their social interactions. His theory (also called Vygotsky’s Sociocultural theory) states that learning is a crucially social process as opposed to an independent journey of discovery.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vygotsky (1978), a Russian psychologist and the founder of sociocultural theory, believed that human development and learning originate in social and cultural interaction. In other words, the ways people interact with others and the culture in which they live shape their mental abilities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vygotsky’s theory revolves around the idea that social interaction is central to learning. This means the assumption must be made that all societies are the same, which is incorrect. Vygotsky emphasized the concept of instructional scaffolding, which allows the learned to build connections based on social interactions.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) was a key construct in Lev Vygotsky’s theory of learning and development. The Zone of Proximal Development is defined as the space between what a learner can do without assistance and what a learner can do with adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.
