alleryWhich instructional programme grew out of Vygotsky's zone of proximal development?
AProgrammed instruction
BReciprocal teaching
CRote memorisation drill
DMastery by repetition
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Reciprocal teaching
1. Educators built several programmes on the ZPD.
2. In reciprocal teaching, teacher and students take turns leading a dialogue about a text.
3. The teacher's support is shared and then handed over, in line with the ZPD.
4. Dynamic assessment is another programme from the same idea.
**Why not the others:** Programmed instruction comes from Skinner's behaviourism; drill and repetition ignore assisted performance.
