Discussion
Which of the following statements denotes the relationship between development and learning correctly ?
Answer: D
Development and learning are inter-related and inter-dependent.
Development, the maturation of physical and mental capacities, sets the stage for what a child can learn. Learning in turn drives development: Vygotsky argued that good learning leads development, pulling the child forward within the zone of proximal development. Each depends on and shapes the other.
So it is wrong to say they are unrelated or that learning takes place irrespective of development. There is also no basis for the claim that the rate of learning far exceeds the rate of development; the two cannot be compared in that way.
