Detailed Explanation
Understanding Vygotsky's Theory
According to Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, a child's development occurs through their socio-cultural environment and interaction with other people.
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): It represents the gap between what a child can do independently and what they can achieve with the guidance of an adult or a 'More Knowledgeable Other' (MKO).
- Scaffolding: The temporary and flexible support provided during this learning process is termed as scaffolding, which is gradually withdrawn as the learner gains mastery.
Therefore, option B is the most precise scientific explanation of the concepts.
