CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Intersubjectivity. Intersubjectivity is when two people (i.e. the child and helper) start a task together with a different level of skill and understanding, and both end up with a shared understanding.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Essentially, scaffolding is the help/support that takes place in the zone of proximal development. As the child begins to learn and master the skill, the support provided by the teacher decreases until eventually the child can begin to do the task on their own.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The ZPD (zone of proximal development) is the area of mastery just above where the child is right now. So think of the very next step the child could reach with just a little bit of help and practice. The scaffolding is the support you give. Figuring out the ZPD depends on the task.
