I think the question is basically asking why it is important to observe children in a social context which impacts their behavior and learning, according to Vygotsky's theory.

Research Vygotsky's social-cultural theory for some back ground information. Google has a ton of information about it. This should give you a bit of an understanding on why Vygotsky's found this type of learning important.
