Detailed Explanation
In Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, the 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD) represents the gap between a child's ability to solve problems independently and their ability to solve problems under the guidance of an adult or More Knowledgeable Other (MKO). The temporary support provided during this process is called 'Scaffolding'. To learn more, you can read the Wikipedia reference.
