Detailed explanation-1: -ZPD is defined by Vygotsky (1978) as “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” (p. 86).
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -What Is the Zone of Proximal Development? The zone of proximal development refers to the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can achieve with guidance and encouragement from a skilled partner. Thus, the term “proximal” refers to those skills that the learner is “close” to mastering.
Detailed explanation-5: -Zone of proximal development ‘scaffolding’ Instructional scaffolding is a method of teaching that helps a student learn a new skill. It involves a more knowledgeable person guiding a student through a task that’s in their ZPD.
