Detailed Explanation
Understanding Vygotsky's Theory
In Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory of development, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is the range of abilities where a learner can perform tasks with the guidance of an adult or a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) that they cannot yet achieve independently.
- Scaffolding: Refers to the temporary, structured support given during the learning process, which is gradually faded away as the child becomes capable of performing the task independently.
- MKO: Can be anyone with a better understanding or a higher ability level regarding a specific task, process, or concept.
