Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) refers to the range of tasks that a learner can perform with the help of a more knowledgeable other but cannot yet perform independently. Since Seamus does not understand division despite explanations, it is likely at the top of his ZPD, meaning he is close to understanding it with assistance.
