Answer 1

Answer:

B. Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)

The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is one of Lev Vygotsky’s most important concepts. It refers to the difference between what a learner can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance and support. Vygotsky emphasized that learning is a social process and that children develop cognitively through interactions with more knowledgeable others.
