represents the difference

Question

between what a child already knows and what she might learn with support from someone else.
• A. Developmentally appropriate practice
• B. Zone of proximal development
• C. Scaffolding
• D. Affective domain assessment

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. Zone of proximal development. The zone of proximal development concept, introduced by Lev Vygotsky, refers to the gap or difference between what a child can do independently and what they can achieve with the guidance and support of a more knowledgeable person. This concept emphasizes the importance of providing appropriate support and scaffolding to facilitate learning and development.
