✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
According to Lev Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) refers to the difference between what a learner can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance and encouragement from an MKO (More Knowledgeable Other).
- Actual Development: What a child can do on their own.
- Potential Development: What a child can do with help.
- ZPD: The distance between these two levels.
Option (d) defines Scaffolding, which is the temporary support structure provided within the ZPD that is gradually removed as the learner gains independence.
