Detailed explanation-1: -For example, imagine a student has just mastered basic addition. At this point, basic subtraction may enter their zone of proximal development, meaning that they have the ability to learn subtraction and will likely be able to master it with guidance and support.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -It has been argued that a bad application of the ZPD approach can actually have negative outcomes, such as decreased motivation (if the tasks are too easy) and decreased self-esteem (if the tasks are too hard). However, this problem usually comes up in the context of large school classes.
