Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
According to Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory of development, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) represents the gap between the actual developmental level and the potential developmental level.
The temporary and flexible support provided by a teacher or More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) to bridge this gap is termed Scaffolding.
- Dynamic Support: Scaffolding is not permanent; rather, it is adjusted dynamically according to the learner's needs.
- Fading Out: As the student's competence and independence increase, this support is gradually reduced (faded out) until the learner can perform the task independently.
Therefore, option (c) is the most authentic and scientifically accurate description of this concept.
