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 sociocultural theory about child development says that cognitive development occurs as a result of social interactions. In this way, learning is innately collaborative. He believed social negotiation was essential for building knowledge and understanding concepts.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vygotsky’s Definition of ZPD "the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem-solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers” (Vygotsky, 1978, p. 86).
Detailed explanation-4: -The zone of proximal development is the difference between the tasks that an individual can accomplish alone and the tasks they can only do with support from an MKO, or more knowledgable other person. Psychologist Lev Vygotsky posed this other person as a guide to provide scaffolding for the learner.
