“…We can recognise that “learning and teaching combine as an essentially social process that is situated within, and shaped by, social and cultural contexts” (Bligh & Fathima, , p. 530), and that “collaboration and participation with knowledgeable others” (Bligh & Fathima, , p. 531) can help children to learn, and helps us to make sense of the notions of “apprenticeship, guided participation, and participatory appropriation” (Bligh & Fathima, , p. 531). None of the observations of how imitation, observation, trying things out, discussion, and other forms of social interaction, including play (Mathis, , p. 626), can help learning (Bligh & Fathima, , pp. 538–545) are explained by Vygotsky's theoretical account, and none of them need Vygotsky's theoretical account to be explicable.…”
