factors

The zone of proximal development, often abbreviated as

ZPD, is the difference between what a learner can do without
help and what he or she can do with help.
is an area of learning that occurs when a person is assisted
by a teacher or peer with a higher skill set of the subject. The
person learning the skill set cannot complete it without the
assistance of the teacher or peer.

The Importance
and example of
ZPD

So many times, children are

presented with material that is
either way too challenging (and
they get frustrated) or way too
easy (and they lose interest).
Teaching in the ZPD means that
the teacher is presenting
material that is just challenging
enough so that it is interesting,
engaging, and only requires

how to ride a bike. By the help

parents, the child is able to
ride a bike.
 The development
of the topic
Lev Vygotsky, who was interested
in education and the learning
process, felt that standardized
tests were an inadequate measure
of a child's readiness for further
learning. He contended that
standardized tests measure the
child’s current independent
knowledge while overlooking the
child’s potential capability to
successfully learn new material.
Summary
The zone of proximal development (ZPD)
Vygotsky Introduced the gap between what
a student can do independently and what
they can potentially do with the help of a
"more knowledgeable other."

This theory helps the teacher (parent) to

know what should they do to developing
the student (kids) new skills or knowledge.
