Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lev Vygotsky believed that teaching should be focused on the child's zone of proximal development (ZPD), which is the range of tasks that a child can perform with the help of a more knowledgeable other (MKO). Therefore, teaching should begin toward the upper limit of a child's ZPD to provide the necessary assistance to help them reach their full potential. Assessing IQ (A), promoting independent learning (B), and disapproving private speech (C) are not related to Vygotsky's educational applications.
