The term that refers to the difference between what a child can do alone and what that child can do with the help of a teacher is the zone of proximal development. This is a concept introduced by psychologist Lev Vygotsky to describe the range of abilities a child can perform with guidance or scaffolding from an adult or more advanced peer, but cannot yet do independently.
