Draw and label a diagram outlining the concept of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).

I'm sorry, but as a text-based AI, I am unable to draw diagrams. However, I can describe the concept of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) for you.

The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is a concept developed by psychologist Lev Vygotsky. It refers to the range of tasks that a learner can perform with the help of a more knowledgeable other, such as a teacher or peer, but cannot yet perform independently. The ZPD is the area where learning and development occur, as it represents the difference between what a learner can do on their own and what they can do with assistance.

In the diagram, you would typically see three overlapping circles representing different levels of ability: what the learner can do independently, what the learner can do with assistance, and what the learner cannot do at all. The ZPD is the area where the second and third circles overlap, indicating the tasks that are just beyond the learner's current ability but achievable with the right support.

Diagram:

[Image of a person standing on a ladder with a higher rung labeled "Potential Development" and a lower rung labeled "Actual Development". In the middle of the ladder is a zone labeled "Zone of Proximal Development".]

Labels:

- Actual Development: Skills and knowledge that a learner can independently demonstrate without assistance.
- Potential Development: Skills and knowledge that a learner is capable of achieving with the help of a more knowledgeable person.
- Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): The range of tasks that a learner can perform with the support of an expert mentor or peer.
