ZPD and Scaffolding

I made this video to create an efficient and captivating way to present Lev Vygotsky’s theory, specically his Zone of Proximal Development. Although just one part of his theory, we felt this section was important enough to focus on individually.

We hope you enjoy it. The video is just under 4 minutes long.

The Zone of proximal development is the best known Vygotskian concept. To successfully apply it in a classroom, I’ve attached 3 resources to guide you. They are:

1. The Benefits of the ZPD
2. Am I using the ZPD in my classroom checklist
3. Guidelines of how to use the ZPD in your classroom

What are some examples where you used the ZPD in your classroom?

 

 

 

Thanks for participating!
