Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vygotsky argued that a child gets involved in a dialogue with the “more knowledgeable other” such as a peer or an adult and gradually, through social interaction and sense-making, develops the ability to solve problems independently and do certain tasks without help.

Detailed explanation-2: -It involves a more knowledgeable person guiding a student through a task that’s in their ZPD. As a learner’s ability to complete a skill improves, the instructor should lessen the amount of aid they provide. The concept can be applied in the classroom to a variety of subjects, including language, math, and science.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vygotsky defined the “More Knowledgeable Other” (MKO) as anyone who has a better understanding or a higher ability level than the learner, particularly in regards to a specific task, concept or process. Traditionally the MKO is thought of as a teacher or an older adult.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
