CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lev Vygotsky was a seminal Russian psychologist best known for his sociocultural theory. He constructed the idea of a zone of proximal development, which are those tasks which are too difficult for a child to solve alone but s/he can accomplish with the help of adults or more skilled peers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) was a key construct in Lev Vygotsky’s theory of learning and development.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vygotsky’s theory (1962) proposes that the child’s development is best understood in relation to social and cultural experience. Social interaction, in particular, is seen as a critical force in development.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
