Abstract Despite his popularity in educational discourses, Lev S. Vygotsky tends to be read mainly as an psychologist or learning theorist. His potential contribution a theory of education remains largely undiscussed. The Zone Proximal Development (ZPD) is often misunderstood sort “educational tool,” which severely reduces the richness concept emerging from Vygotsky's works. In this essay, Alin...

This article presents the outcomes of how Dynamic Assessment (DA) may be organized to function within a class’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). The testing field also has recently undergone noticeable changes leading to a shift to use technology that is emerged in our era. The study investigated college students’ barriers and motivations for testing reading comprehension ability using the n...

In recent years, there have been many and varied successful applications of the Vygotskian concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) to the area of literacy learning (e.g., Burkhalter, 1995; Combs, 1996; Steward, 1996). These applications, often developed as instructional programs, generally demonstrate the viability of providing children support within their ZPD and describe various wa...

The Zone of Proximal Development is an appealing and persuasive idea for those concerned with how best to help learners learn. In essence the ZPD requires collaboration or assistance for a learner from another more able partner. The need for this more able learning partner arises from the belief that the activities which form a part of the child’s education must be beyond the range of her indep...

Abstract This case study contributes with a new coteaching design, in which experienced teachers from two different aesthetic subjects are planning, teaching and evaluating together higher education, more specifically general preschool teacher education. The aim of the is to analyse how drama music reflect on their coteaching. Coteaching, when teach shared responsibility meet students’ learning...

<p style="text-align: justify;">This article highlights the main ideas that underlie differences in potential pragmatic knowledge constructs students experience when solving problems, between zone of proximal development (ZPD) and construction (ZPC). This qualitative research is based on a phenomenological approach to finding meaning things are fundamental essential from ZPD ZPC phenomena...

This paper proposes a testcase recommendation system (TRS) to assist beginner-level learners in introductory programming courses with completing assignments on learning management (LMS). These often struggle generate complex testcases and handle numerous code errors, leading disengaging their attention from the study. The proposed TRS addresses this problem by applying using singular value deco...

Background: Predicated on Vygotsky’s zone of proximal development (ZPD), dynamic assessment (DA) integrates teaching with assessment in a single activity by providing mediation to help learners perform beyond their independent functioning and simultaneously promote learner development. It advantages over traditional psychometric tests in that DA can not only reveal the learners’ actual level of...
