Detailed Explanation & Solution

In Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, the 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD) expresses the gap between a child's current independent performance and potential performance achieved with the help of an adult or More Knowledgeable Other (MKO). This concept emphasizes that learning precedes social interaction and teaching should be conducted within the ZPD to accelerate cognitive development through proper scaffolding.
