Bandura Vs. Vigotsky

Socio-cultural theory

Social-cognitive theory

Bandura and Vigotsky theory of learning have predominated in the last years of educational psychology research on how people learn (Black & Allen, 2018)

Both are based in the concept that learning is the product of social interactions (Black & Allen, 2018)
