Explanation: 

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: -The zone of proximal development is an area of learning that occurs when a person is assisted by a teacher or peer with a higher skill set. The person learning the skill set cannot complete it without the assistance of the teacher or peer.

Detailed explanation-3: -An example of the zone of proximal development is guiding a child through the steps of subtraction. Once the child masters these steps, he or she can work on subtraction independently. The zone of proximal development is the gap between the actual level of development and the level of potential development.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tasks a Learner Can Accomplish With Assistance When a learner is close to mastering a skill set required to complete a task, but still needs the guidance of an expert to do so, they are considered to be in their zone of proximal development.
