AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) was a key construct in Lev Vygotsky’s theory of learning and development. The Zone of Proximal Development is defined as the space between what a learner can do without assistance and what a learner can do with adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vygotsky’s scaffolding began when other theorists applied his theory, called the zone of proximal development (ZPD) in the classroom. ZPD concentrates on what a learner can do by themselves versus what they can do with the help of someone else. You may visualize ZPD as a series of three concentric circles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The common conception of the zone of proximal development presupposes an interaction between a more competent person and a less competent person on a task, such that the less competent person becomes independently proficient at what was initially a jointly-accomplished task.

Detailed explanation-4: -The concept of zone of proximal development (ZPD) was developed by Lev Semenovich Vygotsky during the late 1920s and elaborated progressively until his death in 1934.
