And I thought there had to be something there that intertwines with what we’ve talked about in class. That is how I came to see a connection with talking about a child’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). ZPD is defined or explained as a child being challenged enough with a task that they are struggling a bit, but with the right help and resources they can accomplish whatever they are working on. After I realized this, I went back…

aims to briefly discuss their theories, shed lights on the similarities and differences in their theories, and consider the educational implications of these two approaches.

What begins to happen at this point is a thinning of the cervix and there will be a dilation of up to 3 cm. Other signs during this early labor stage can include heavy discharge and also leaking of amniotic fluid. The bigger sign at this point will be the contractions starting up.

If students cannot work together with other students than it is going to be hard for the…

perspectives as well. I have come to understand that construction of meaning from text is the ultimate test for successful reading. For a reader to reach this goal of text comprehension, she must be motivated to read, engage in text within her Zone of Proximal development, employ efficient cognitive processes, access prior knowledge, and utilize a strong knowledge of…

We chose The Zone of Proximal Development, Vygotsky’s term for the distance between the most difficult task a child can do alone and the most difficult task a child can do with help; the area of development a child has not reached on his own but that he reach with the inputs of others (Mooney pg.101). We picked this concept also because our site supervisor had…
