Ngokwe Answers.com (2009):
Sociocultural theory states that our cognitive developmental processes,
learning processes, are merely products of our society and culture. Different
cultures have various systems, including beliefs, values, manners, normative
behaviors, and practices. Within these various different cultures around the
world, differences in specific societies within the larger culture also exist.
Furthermore, according to Answers.com (2009), “our culture teaches us
behavior, which may also vary according to our society. Our socialization
within a specific culture and society molds our behaviour and teaches us
right from wrong. The sociocultural theory claims that everything which
makes up the psychological processes which join together to form our ‘selfimage’,
and our ‘identity’, and overall, our ‘reality’... thus, we are merely
just products of our culture and society

Yingakho-ke nje u-Au (1997), ocashunwe nguTracy benoMorrow (2006, p. 105) echaza
ukuthi usikompilo lubalulekile njengoba luyinto enomthelela ekuthuthukeni/ ekufundeni
(reading development) kwezingane ekufundeni kwazo okubhaliwe. Ngale kwalokhu,
ngokwale njulalwazi, ulwazi lokufunda okubhaliwe enganeni lwakheka ngenxa
yokuhlangana nabanye abantu kanye nezehlakalo ezithile (Woolfolk, 1999; Tracy &
Morrow, 2006).
2.3.3 UKUFUNDA OKUBHALIWE NGOKWE-BOTTOM-UP MODEL
Ngokwe-bottom-up model, abafundi baqala bafunde okubhaliwe bese bakha umqondo
ngokusembhalweni, okufana namagama nemisho. Abafundi bombhalo bakha umqondo
kusukela ezinhlamvini, kuye emagameni kuze kufike emishweni. Ukufunda kuhamba
ngokwezigaba ezithile ezilandelanayo ukuze kwakheke umqondo (Gascoigne, 2005).
UKamil (1986, p. 73) uphawula ngokuthi i-bottom-up model isukela ekutheni umfundi
uqala ukufunda ngokuba ahlaziye umbhalo kusukela kokuncane
(ezimelamsindweni/ezinhlamvini) kuze kugcine kokukhulu (ekubhaleni imisho), afunde
kuze kufike lapho kwakheka khona umqondo. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukukwazi komfundi
ukufunda izinhlamvu namagama asembhalweni. Yingakho nje le modeli ibuye yaziwe
ngokuthi yi-text driven model. Lapho kusetshenziswa khona i-bottom-up model ngenkathi
kufundwa umbhalo, abafundayo baqala ngokuthi bahlaziye umbhalo ube yizicucwana
