A preschool teacher thinks it is very important for children to participate as much as possible in real-life adult tasks - baking cookies, constructing napkin holders with wood, and so on - with whatever guidance and support they need to accomplish the tasks successfully. Which approach to child development is this teacher taking?

The answer is sociocultural.

Explanation:

The sociocultural approach to psychology states that society has a major influence in a person's behaviour, and emphasizes the importance of human interaction in the learning process.

Psychologist Lev Vygotsky explained that playing was a important part in intellectual development, as it improved a child's understanding of the world.
