Vygotksy's Zone of Proximal Development (Explained in 4 minutes)

Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) refers to the range between what a learner can achieve independently and what they can achieve with guidance from a more knowledgeable person. Within this zone, learning occurs most effectively as tasks are neither too easy nor too challenging. It emphasizes the importance of social interactions, particularly with mentors or peers, in facilitating cognitive development.
