ZPD, or Zone of Proximal Development, is the discrepancy between what tasks a child can complete autonomously; as opposed to what tasks he or she will need help with. |
Examples of ZPD:
A teacher who adjusts his or her curriculum so tasks remain challenging to the student, but not too confusing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_proximal_development https://chss2.montclair.edu/sotillos/_meth/00000014.htm https://web.cortland.edu/andersmd/VYG/ZPD.HTML |
