Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky believed that standardized tests were inadequate in assessing a childโs learning readiness. While a certain amount of knowledge is naturally gained from exposure and maturity, other knowledge depends on the social interaction with a teacher or mentor.
Vygotsky contended that these zones provide students with the best chance of mastering new knowledge. Thus, a studentโs learning process should always take place within these proximal development zones.
