Question

The zone of proximal development is the difference between what the learner knows and what the learner is capable of __________.
A.
understanding with the help from a peer
B.
teaching to another less capable peer
C.
understanding on one’s own
D.
teaching to another more capable peer

Answer 1

The answer would be B because The zone of proximal development, as defined by psychologist Lev Vygotsky, is the gap between what a learner can achieve on their own and what they can do with the support of a more competent peer. This lends credence to the notion that learning is a social and participatory process, and that learners may accomplish more with the assistance of someone more talented than them.
