ESSAY BWhy did Vygotsky believe the “zone of proximal development” provides a better indication of students’ potential than conventional achievement tests? In the evaluation section of Chapter 10 of Crain, the author presents a Rousseauist critique of this concept. Discuss one (1) of the points the author makes. Please limit your response to 600 words maximum and minimum 400.
-You are to use authorized sources (our course materials) when answering the questions. This will include an in-text citation at the end of the sentence whether it’s a direct quote or paraphrase that will look something like, "(Crain, p. 10)." If you go to outside sources (I highly do not recommend), you must provide the in-text citation and a separate full APA reference. I will assume you have made a good judgment of the quality of the source, i.e., scholarly and peer reviewed. For instance, a "bad" source could be a religious group's "research" being used to support corporal punishment on children that misbehave…quite speculative. -Only 1 outside source is permitted.-All of your work will be checked via SAFEASSIGN for a plagiarism check. DO NOT type the answer into the COMMENT box. Anything over 50% match will not be counted/graded. I mentioned this is a social science course therefore matches will be inevitable and citing of sources is crucial. Anything above a 20% will be checked further by me.
