Detailed Explanation & Solution
According to Lev Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, the 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD) represents the gap between tasks a child can perform independently and those they can perform under the guidance of an adult or a More Knowledgeable Other (MKO).
Key Concepts
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): The distance between the actual developmental level and potential development level.
- Scaffolding: A temporary, flexible support system that assists a learner in reaching their maximum potential. As the student becomes proficient, this support is gradually faded away, allowing the student to internalize learning independently.
Therefore, option (c) is the most authentic and scientifically valid statement among the given choices.
