The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) has been defined as:
"the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem-solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers" (Vygotsky, 1978, p. 86).
To assist a person to move through the zone of proximal development, educators are encouraged to focus on three important components which aid the learning process:
👉🏼The presence of someone with knowledge and skills beyond that of the learner (a more knowledgeable other).
👉🏼Social interactions with a skillful tutor that allow the learner to observe and practice their skills.
👉🏼Scaffolding, or supportive activities provided by the educator, or more competent peer, to support the student as he or she is led through the ZPD
