Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to Vygotsky, students can benefit from help if:
A
They are at the stage of concrete operational or higher
B
Their inner speech is developed past preoperational
C
Tasks are in their zones of proximal development
D
They are capable of transformation and reversibility
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vygotsky believed that when a student is in the zone of proximal development for a particular task, providing the appropriate assistance will give the student enough of a “boost” to achieve the task.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The main idea of the Zone of proximal development is that a person with more knowledge can enhance a student’s learning by guiding them through a task slightly above their aptitude. As the learner gains more competence, the expert steadily stops guidance until the learner becomes able to do the task by themselves.

Detailed explanation-4: -Zone of proximal development ‘scaffolding’ Instructional scaffolding is a method of teaching that helps a student learn a new skill. It involves a more knowledgeable person guiding a student through a task that’s in their ZPD.

Detailed explanation-5: -Teaching at a students’ point of need, or their Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), is important. It helps with students’ engagement, motivation, and growth. If a task is too easy (well below their ZPD), then the student is likely to become bored and disengaged.
