    Vygotsky's theory of social interactionism posits that learning is a social process where children require guidance from teachers or more capable peers. In contrast, Piaget's constructivist theory focuses on the universal stages of cognitive development that children progress through independently as they interact with their environment. While both theorists acknowledge social influences on learning, Vygotsky placed stronger emphasis on the sociocultural context and how children internalize cultural tools through social interactions, unlike Piaget who viewed cognitive development as less dependent on cultural and social factors.
