the NPCs that learners/players come across during their mission. A rich experience is what a leaner needs to develop to a knowledgeable individual‚ and the impact of the surrounding environment and the scaffolds in it are important for learning. Vygotsky (1978) has proposed that the learner needs to be scaffolded in order to acquire all the skills that would have been difficult to acquire independently. The Vygotskian theoretical perspective holds that learners‚ and especially children can perform

en Introduction Every child is unique in their own way and I strongly believe that the environment plays a big role in raising the child. Studies show that PLAY plays the important role in children’s learning and development. Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852) believed that play was a highly significant activity and initiated an approach to learning in early childhood that offers children a wide range of experiences so that they could develop an understanding of their world and themselves. He also

Social cognition has been a vital topic in child psychology since the establishment of the field (Harris‚2006). The work of psychologist Vygotsky has had a lot of influence on the idea of how children learn through their social environment. He emphasized the social building of knowledge.

Children do not develop in isolation. Vygotsky (1978) states: "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 (1978) also states that "learning
