✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Vygotsky's ZPD and Scaffolding
In Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) refers to the gap between what a learner can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance and encouragement from an adult or More Knowledgeable Other (MKO).
Key concepts explained:
- ZPD: The difference between actual developmental level and potential developmental level under adult guidance.
- Scaffolding: Temporary support given by the MKO to help the learner master the task, which is gradually faded as the learner becomes independent.
Therefore, option (b) is the most accurate statement.
