would be an example of Lev Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development. “Central to Vygotsky’s (1978) perspective is the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development, a realm in which learning conditions can be optimized through the identification of competences that the learner could mature if only with the right assistance” (Armstrong, 2015). If a teacher can take a child who is having a hard time reading and by the end of the school year the child is reading and meeting proficiency levels, then…

“zone of proximal development” (ZPD) can be broken down into four different learning stages. In the first stage of ZPD, the student relies heavily on others, such as their peers or an adult, for assistance in their understanding and learning. During this stage, it is evident that one cannot comprehend the task at hand by themselves or without the help of others. In stage two of ZPD, one can perform a task that was learned during stage one without any help; however, they are still not able to…
