Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vygotsky believed that guided participation, which is a process where experienced mentors help novices learn cultural knowledge, skills, and habits, was a universal process used across all cultures to transmit knowledge from one generation to the next. Although language and culture are important aspects of this process, guided participation is the specific process that Vygotsky focused on. Context is also important, but it is not the universal process that Vygotsky believed was key to cultural transmission.
