Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) theory has several layers, but the important one to consider is the zone where we are able to learn more with the help of a more knowledgeable other person.

I''ve had several conversations with my students in the past few weeks about how Vygotskiian theory informs our understanding of learning. But social constructivist theory, particularly Vygotsky''s socio-cultural focus, extends greatly beyond the concept of ZPD - the zone of proximal development - that most people are familar with.
