D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -He suggests that one learns best through interacting with others. Through the process of working with others, learners create an environment of shared meanings with peers. By being immersed in the new environment, the learner is able to adapt subjective interpretations to become socially accepted.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vygotsky’s theory of cognitive development includes the key concept of internalisation. He argued that children internalise knowledge as part of a gradual process, essentially through the social interactions with others, and particularly between adults and children.

Detailed explanation-3: -He believed that social interaction plays a critical role in children’s learning-a continuous process that is profoundly influenced by culture. Imitation, guided learning, and collaborative learning feature prominently in his theory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vygotsky emphasized the collaborative nature of learning by the construction of knowledge through social negotiation. He rejected the assumption made by Piaget that it was possible to separate learning from its social context. Vygotsky believed everything is learned on two levels.

Detailed explanation-5: -Constructivism is based on the idea that people actively construct or make their own knowledge, and that reality is determined by your experiences as a learner.
