Detailed Explanation
Understanding Vygotsky's Theory
In Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory of development, Scaffolding is the temporary support or guidance provided by a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) to help the learner navigate the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).
- As the learner becomes capable of performing the task independently, this support is gradually faded away.
- ZPD is the gap between what a child can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance.
- Scaffolding specifically refers to the adjustable support mechanism used within this zone.
