The ZDD Guide based on Vygotksy

Published on Mar 24, 2016

This Haiku Deck illustrates Spear-Ellinwood's characterization of the ZDD - the Zone of Distal Development, which extends Vygotksy's concept of the zone of proximal development. The ZDD is characterized by the distance between what the learner can achieve now without assistance and the ultimate goal of engagement in a longitudinal learning experience. The ZDD consists of a series of ZPDs through which the learner develops knowledge, skills and practices, attitudes and behaviors, that support achievement of successive proximal objects, bringing the ultimate or distal object of the longitudinal experience into proximal distance in the final zone.

We know there are no straight lines between learning and development

We know the strategic use of TOOLS

mediates learning and development!

We know different tools are needed

in different situations for different learners

We know Vygotsky's ZPD

gets learners from A to B!

But how do learners get from

A to Z?

It's not just about the technology...

or the teaching...

or the learning situation...

...wherever learning might occur.

It's about the planning

Longitudinal Learning

is about achieving some distal goal

It's about creating curriculum

that keeps that distal object in mind...

as you create each

successive, appropriately challenging experience.

So that when you get here...

it's do-able!

Becoming a self-directed learner is

an example of a distal goal

A distal object is something the learner cannot do now, even with assistance

What if you wanted to be

a language interpreter?

First, you would have to

learn the language

You'd have to

Master the language first

in all respects

Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking

Then you'd need to be able to

Understand and SIMULTANEOUSLY Translate

So, becoming a language interpreter

is NOT a Proximal Object!

It's a Distal Object

We can think of the ZDD

as SUCCESSIVE ZPDs

The ZDD = Successive ZPDs

the Distal Object

Let's load it up for the long haul!
