This study examines the impact of social interaction and scaffolding on the educational process at JETS, drawing on Vygotsky's sociocultural theory. It highlights the significance of More Knowledgeable Others (MKOs), such as instructors and peers, in molding students' cognitive development and academic progress. The results emphasize the interactive and cooperative nature of the learning environment at JETS, which is consistent with Vygotsky's theoretical framework. By engaging in interactive encounters with others who possess different levels of expertise, students are effectively guided towards their zone of proximal development (ZPD). This process facilitates the gradual internalization of knowledge and abilities. This study highlights the need for deliberate curriculum design and instructional approaches that include More Knowledgeable Others (MKOs) in the educational experience. At JETS, the use of mentorship programs, peer teaching, and interactive classroom activities, which are based on Vygotskian principles, has been found to significantly improve educational outcomes. The Vygotskian perspective highlights the significant influence of More Knowledgeable Others (MKOs) in facilitating learning at ECWA Theological Seminary, Jos. By acknowledging and utilizing the capabilities of those with more expertise and knowledge, JETS can persistently foster a dynamic and intellectually engaging educational setting that fosters the cognitive and spiritual development of its students.
