This chapter will provide a framework for analyzing learner competence to provide appropriate supports at a learner’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Learners who are in their ZPD during learning experiences have the greatest chance for meaningful critical thinking. This chapter will provide strategies for evaluating the appropriate balance of autonomy and support for individual learners, as well as highlight instructional methods that work along the spectrum of gradual release, from observation through independent practice.

摘要

This chapter will provide a framework for analyzing learner competence to provide appropriate supports at a learner’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Learners who are in their ZPD during learning experiences have the greatest chance for meaningful critical thinking. This chapter will provide strategies for evaluating the appropriate balance of autonomy and support for individual learners, as well as highlight instructional methods that work along the spectrum of gradual release, from observation through independent practice.
