Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Guided participation refers to the process by which a more knowledgeable individual (such as a parent, teacher, or mentor) guides a less knowledgeable individual in a social interaction and helps them learn a skill or concept. In this case, Lester's mother initially guided him in giving the dog a bath, but over time he became more proficient and can now do it himself. This is an example of guided participation at work. The other options, cooperative learning, intersubjectivity, and scaffolding, are also important concepts in learning, but do not apply as directly to this scenario.
