1. Zone of Proximal Development by: Lev Vygotsky JUSTINE ANN C. EUPEÑA Reporter

2. Who is Lev Vygotsky? Lev Vygotsky was born on November 17, 1896 in Orasha , a city in the western region of the Russian Empire - He studied in Moscow State University with a degree in law in 1917 - his full name is Lev Semyonovich Vygotsky - Also Known for Cultural-historical psychology, Zone of Proximal Development and Interpersonal communication

3. Zone of Proximal Development Is the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help. an area of learning that occurs when a person is assisted by a teacher or peer with a higher skill set of the subject. The person learning skill set cannot complete it without the assistance of the teacher or peer.

4. The Concept Zone of Proximal Development was originally developed by Vygotsky to argue against the use of academic, knowledge -based tests as a means to gauge students’ intelligence. Vygotsky (1978) believed that learning results in mental development and sets into motion a variety of development processes that would not occur without the process of learning.

5. Vygotsky’s Hypothesis First, it suggests that developmental processes do not coincide with learing process, but instead developmental processes lags behind learning, resulting in zones of proximal development Second features suggests that although learning directly relates to child development, the two are never accomplished at the same time, as there are highly complex dynamic relations between development and learning.

6. Zone of Proximal Development things the learner cannot do. things the learner can do with help things the learner can do on his own
