✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Vygotsky's Theory
According to Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) represents the gap between what a learner can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance and encouragement from a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO).
- ZPD: The theoretical gap or range of tasks that are too difficult for the child to master alone, but can be learned with guidance.
- Scaffolding: The temporary instructional support or assistance given by the MKO to the learner during the learning process, which is gradually faded out as the learner gains independence.
Therefore, option (b) correctly distinguishes between the two interrelated yet distinct concepts.
