Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation of Vygotsky's Theory
In Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory of development, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) signifies the gap between a child's level of independent problem-solving and the level of problem-solving under the guidance of an adult or a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO).
Scaffolding refers to the temporary, flexible, and supportive assistance provided within this zone to enhance the child's competence, which is gradually faded out as the child becomes more proficient.
- ZPD: Difference between actual and potential development.
- Scaffolding: Temporary structural support to facilitate learning.
- MKO: More Knowledgeable Other guiding the process.
