Question

Which of these is not a reason to use the Zone of Proximal

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. If a learner cannot do the work even with guidance because it is too hard, they are less likely to misbehave.​

Explanation:

In education, the Zone of Proximal development is a concept used to refer abilities a learner is in the process of acquiring, this means, the learner can perform with the assistance of a teacher or similar but not independently. This concept is related to misbehavior because if the learner is asked to complete tasks that are too complex or beyond his zone of proximal development misbehavior might occur. Similarly, if tasks are too easy and do not represent learning or a new challenge misbehavior might occur.

According to this, the statement that is not a reason to use the Zone of Proximal Development to reduce misbehavior is "If a learner cannot do the work even with guidance because it is too hard, they are less likely to misbehave" because when a work or task is beyond the Zone of Proximal Development the learner is more likely to mishave due to frustration to perform the work even with assistance.
