Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Zone of Proximal Development refers to the range of tasks or skills a child can perform with assistance from an adult or more skilled peer. Therefore, a task that a child cannot do alone but can do with adult help is within their Zone of Proximal Development. Option A is something that the child can likely do on their own, making it outside of their Zone of Proximal Development. Option B denotes a type of learning that is not within Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development- a child who is learning through trial and error is doing so independently. Option C may refer to tasks that are within a child's ZPD if they have recently learned the skill, but it is not necessarily within the ZPD at the present moment.
