Vygotsky's concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) refers to the range of tasks that a child can perform with the guidance and support of a more skilled partner. It is the area between what a child can accomplish independently and what she or he cannot do even with help. The ZPD can be seen as the "sweet spot" for learning, as it allows children to stretch beyond what they know while still receiving scaffolding and structure from a more expert other.
