IORAL/LEARN-
ING:
15. Vygotsky's Theo- Zone of Proximal Development and Scattolding: Vygotsky stated that children
ry should be taught in the ZPD, which occurs when they can almost perform a task, but
not quite on their own without assistance. With the right kind of teaching, however,
they can accomplish it successfully.
- A good teacher identifies a child's ZPD and helps the child stretch beyond it.
- Then the adult (teacher) gradually withdraws support until the child can then
perform the task unaided. Researchers have applied the metaphor of scattolds (the
temporary platforms on which construction workers stand) to this way of teaching.
- Scattolding is the temporary support that parents or teachers give a child to do
a task. That little push the child needs
