Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Zone of proximal development: In psychology, the term zone of proximal development was proposed by Lev Vygotsky, and is defined as an individual's (child) tendency to perform on a particular task in the absence of someone else's help versus with the help or guidance of someone else.

It is also denoted as ZPD and shares a teacher-student relationship in which a teacher first guides the student for a particular task and after some time, the help has been taken back so that the child can perform the task independently.
