- Zone of Proximal Development and Scaffolding EXPLAINED!
Today’s video is on the fascinating topic of the Zone of Proximal Development created by psychologist Lev Vygotsky. We’re going to discuss what the zone of proximal development is and also give examples as it relates to learning. This video also contains an explanation of scaffolding theory or scaffolding learning theory as it’s sometimes called. The two concepts are closely related and often taught together.
My favorite resources on the Zone of Proximal Development:

I'm taking an early childhood education course, this was so helpful, thank you so much!
Hi Julia, So glad you found it helpful! Feel free to share with others who might also benefit! Thanks for watching ;)
This is so helpful and I love your analogies.
Thank you so much for this video. I have to write an essay that focuses on the importance of the ZPD and scaffolding when it comes to teaching Mathematics in the foundation phase. Your video has helped me a lot and I'll be referencing it!
Oh wow!! Thank you for sharing that. So happy you found it helpful.
I really liked the bit of starting with the least amount of guidance as necessary. It seems like that may be understood subconsciously, but have it stated in such a clear and concise way is fantastic. I can tell from your presentation skills that you are a great teacher - thank you!
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful. Another tip related to this is anytime a student asks me a question I always respond with another question that guides them to the answer and helps them process information. For example, a student might look at a word problem and say, "I'm confused. I don't know what to do." And I'll say, "What information do you think is important?" Or "Tell me in your own words what you think the problem is talking about." The student should always be doing most of the talking and processing, and you're there to give as little guidance as needed.
Thank you so much for this video. I am currently doing an assignment on this and have always struggled understanding this. You explained it so well with examples. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome!! Glad it was helpful! 😁
I have never thought of using the ZPD for my own life long learning. Great thought!
Excellent explanation, thank you so much, I have used your examples in my presentation for an assignment on my teaching course, I have credited you of course. No amount of reading could have made me understand it as easily as your video!
Awesome! So happy it helped!
This helped me so much for my Life-span class, now I totally understand the zone of proximal development and scaffolding, thank you!!
Awesome!
Thanks for explaining this! I didn't know so much went into different zones of proximal development
You're welcome!! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing ideas about zone proxima development and scaffolding. Your shared ideas will help a lot especially to the beginners in the the field of teaching.
You're so welcome! Glad you found it helpful! Please share with others who may find it helpful ;)
Good advice! Teaching requires a lot of understanding and patience. Keep up the good work!
Omg yes! Loads of patience. And I'm always remembering to show a lot of compassion because learning can bring out so many fears and insecurities and beliefs about who we are as people that can last for a long time. Thanks so much for watching!!
Excellent Teacher
I love your insights regarding this topic. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching Seah!
This is useful to an issue that I have right now regarding communicating on the job. I never really thought about it as a gap that needs to be bridged.
Great insight, thanks for sharing!
Thank you, you are a great "explainer". Love Vyogotsky!
That's such a nice compliment, thank you!
This is so interesting, honestly first time hearing about it in this way.Thank you for sharing. Learning so much. New sub here
Hi Carina, Thanks so much for your message!! I'm glad you found it valuable! 😁😁🙏
This was a great video that really helped to better understand the concept and get a greater explanation
So happy it helped! Please share with anyone else who might find it helpful!
Subscribed because I am a teacher in Japan and I'm taking some educational courses and this is very helpful for me. thank you.
Awesome! I love hearing from people watching and subscribing all over the world. I have a video going live tomorrow on the growth mindset, which I think you'll like ;)
Wow! I listened to you this morning & YOU were AWESOME!! I like the way YOU teach and explain! I subscribed & look forward to learning more in the future! Jimmy
Thank you so much for your kind words! :)
Great explanation, thank you!
Thank you so much! It's a great help for my theoretical framework.
You're welcome! Happy to help!
The anecdote that you shared about your friend was really helpful in explaining the zone of proximal development.
Thanks! :)
Janice: The insights you share are extremely helpful and thank you.
You’re welcome! ☺️
Thank you so much! This video summarized a whole textbook for me.
Yay! Glad it helped ;) What are you studying?

Thank you!!! My Educational Psychology teacher liked this!
Woohoo!! 🙌🙌
very nice explanation with a good example!!!
Thanks so much!! 🙏
Beautiful and smart!
2:54 One word that Ive heard used alot in education spaces that might encompass (teacher, coach, parent etc.) is facilitator. More specifically facilitator of learning. I feel like it covers the broad range of teacher/mentor roles.
Yes! I like that word. To me it means someone who cultivates the right environment for learning to happen.

The importance of the "gap" size. To be good in estimating it isn't so easy from the teacher's perspective.Teaching and learning is a two-way process
I really liked this. Each person I coach is different. But I really like the least amount of intervention. You want them to eventually out grow your services. I have never heard of scaffolding. Very cool. New Subscriber
@@imeprezime1285 Great observation!
@@Kickin40andBeyond So true!! Thanks for watching and subbing!
REAL tips indeed from a REAL tutor like you! Thank you so much for covering these concepts (The Zone of Proximal Development and Scaffolding). You explained them very well! Truly, teachers have to assess many things and think of several creative ways to match their teaching strategies and techniques to their learners' needs and learning styles. I strongly agree with you that sometimes learners just need words of encouragement or the least amount of intervention. Keep it up!
thank you, great explanation! Xx
Thank you for watching! Please share with anyone who might benefit! xo 😉🍪
this was so helpful thank you!!!
You're welcome! 😉
Thank you so much for this! We are working on creating TedEd Lessons, and I will be using this video to create my TedEd Lesson :D
So cool!! Glad it helped! 😉
Great topic, very interesting...!

thank you madam, this was very helpful
😊🙏
Great video! New subscriber here!
Thank you Arturo!! Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for subscribing! 🙏
Wonderful explanation...... Scaffolding means temporary support....which a learner required in....ZPD...learner required scaffolding from a person who is more knowledgable than him...,👍👍
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Hi just want to ask something about ZPD. Im from the Philippines and we still in a modular style with our students and not yet face to face learning. How does the zone of Proximal development affects the child ability to learn how to read especially when most of the pupil's students did not have quality education and some are just elementary graduates?
The overall principal of only doing the minimum intervention necessary to reach the student's goal still applies, but the tools you have available are different. There are tools you can use with online learning that aren't possible in a classroom. Similarly there are techniques you can use face-to-face that wouldn't work online. Also the age of the student plays a role in this and every individual is unique. Some students excel at online learning because they find it less distracting and they're in a more comfortable environment. Other students learn much better face-to-face. Whatever the case may be, try different tools and techniques and see what works for each student! Overall, teaching online to students under 12 is very difficult because of where they are developmentally. I wish you the best of luck!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 thanks you
Hi, did you take the ACT? If Yes how did it go?
Do you mean the college entrance exam? That's the only "ACT" I know.
It's really quintessential.
Totally! Thanks for watching!

Believing that students have different learning styles in which they learn best is a misconception. They can have preferences, but there's no evidence that matching teaching styles to supposed learning styles or preferences makes a difference. Labeling students can be misleading. All the students should benefit from learning through various methods and ways!
Hi, Thanks for commenting! I get similar comments to this every so often so I’ll just address it here and perhaps make a video about it at some point. I don’t actually “label” my students, but I do observe them closely and how they like to learn and memorize information. Whether you call this a preference or a style or some other term is up to you, but when you’ve been teaching many years it becomes obvious that these preferences are helpful to know. Giving things a label can be helpful to many people (I’ve had countless people say that my videos have helped them study more effectively). Most researchers have very little real life teaching experience (especially not the thousands I’ve had), and as with all things in life, I go by my own experience because research comes and goes and is constantly being disproven. If I find something that works for one of my students, then it works. I don’t need a researcher for that :) Same for my viewers. If one of my recommendations works and helps them study effectively and get better grades than it works for them. A research paper that may be on trend this year and forgotten or disproven the next makes no difference in their day to day life. The research items that I share on my channel are items that I have found success with personally with my own students. That doesn’t mean they work for every person in every scenario. I also only do 1 on 1 tutoring which is very different from classroom learning and my teaching methods are very different than what a classroom teacher would ever use. I’ve always liked to experiment with my teaching (and I can do that because I’m not part of a school system forcing me to follow their protocols), and see where I actually get real life results. I’ve done a lot of SAT and ACT tutoring which is all about straight results. No one cares what the research paper says if I’m able to help them significantly increase their scores and get into a certain school. I hope that helps clear up what my approach is and where I’m coming from. I’m not sitting at home reading hundreds of papers-I’m out teaching and observing real life results. I’m sure some people will disagree with my viewpoints, but if the strategies I’m sharing don’t work for them then there are plenty of other resources on CZcams sharing other strategies that may work :) This is similar to health. I’ve found many remedies that work for me when I get sick that aren’t proven by research papers. But if they help me heal faster, it makes no difference to me. The research may catch up in 20yrs :) For example, I was doing energy work for healing way before there was research on it and now it’s even being used in hospitals and nurses are getting trained in it. Just an example of how real life and research don’t always line up perfectly. It’s important to remember that at the end of the day, research is driven by money. Anyway thanks again for watching and commenting! I appreciate your viewpoint.
Why give less guidance? Give as much as needed to get the students to the goal FAST. Time is money. People are PAYING for tutoring. I tutor, and I have to teach students FAST. I don't give the "minimum" amount of intervention, I give all the intervention I can give, no less, and students learn fast. I stay on top of them and as soon as they make a mistake, I say that they are making a mistake. Being corrected 2 or 3 or so times they don't make the mistake after that barrage of correction. I tutor in math.
I guess it depends on your goal. In the long run you can save on time and money by guiding the student to the point where they need you less and less. And this isn't saying not to apply corrections. It's more saying don't do the whole problem for a student if it's not necessary. Doing the problem for them is fast and it gets to an answer, but this may not achieve long-term goals such as the student doing it for themselves without needing a tutor and gaining confidence and problem solving skills. My philosophy is always to get the student to become more and more capable for themselves. This may or may not be the goal of other tutors. We all have different approaches, and this is what works best for my students.
You sound Greek...!!!
Yassou ;)
