| * **The Zone of Proximal Development** (ZPD) - a term to describe the //zone// **between** learners ability to **complete a task with guidance** or collaboration and ability to **solve it alone**. The ZPD is where learning occurs. Motivation for introduction of ZPD lies in observation that children could often accomplish tasks with the help of others that they could not accomplish alone. The **zone of proximal development** is the difference **between a child's current level of development and his or her potential level of development**, where full cognitive development is achieved through social interaction. According to Vygotsky, two children may be at the same level of actual development, but given the appropriate help from an adult, one might be able to solve many more problems than the other. This kind of performance was to Vygotsky much more important than performance of a child alone, like the one measured by intelligence tests. | * **The Zone of Proximal Development** (ZPD) - a term to describe the //zone// **between** learners ability to **complete a task with guidance** or collaboration and ability to **solve it alone**.
