Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ZPD concept is seen as a scaffolding, a structure of “support points” for performing an action. This refers to the help or guidance received from an adult or more competent peer to permit the child to work within the ZPD.

Detailed explanation-2: -To find the zone of proximal development, parents and teachers have to ask questions and observe a child’s skills. This will help them understand the skills that a child already knows, and based on this information, teachers can create a curriculum to advance those skills.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scaffolding is a term that sprung out of the concept of the ZPD. It refers to the help or guidance from an adult or more competent peer to allow the child to work within the ZPD. Just as in a building project, the scaffolding is erected to support the building process, but then removed when it is no longer needed.
