The Zone Moves
Captions available
The idea
The zone of proximal development is defined by the gap between solo and supported performance, and it shifts as the learner develops.
In practice
Last month's supported task is this month's independent one, and a new gap has opened above it.
Where people slip
The zone is a moving band, not a ceiling. Instruction has to keep relocating it.
