Detailed Explanation
Lev Vygotsky's Socio-Cultural Theory
According to Lev Vygotsky's theory of socio-cultural development, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is the gap between actual developmental level and potential developmental level.
- MKO (More Knowledgeable Other): Refers to anyone who has a better understanding or a higher ability level than the learner regarding a specific task, process, or concept.
- Scaffolding: The temporary support given by the MKO during the learning process which is tailored to the learner's needs and gradually removed as competence increases.
As the learner's proficiency and autonomy grow, this external support is progressively reduced so the child can solve problems independently.
