Re: [xmca] On the shape of the zpd

Carol says:

Two of my students did research in two totally different aspects of CHAT and
the one got a straight line for growth on the LSV blocks, and a student who
worked in the classroom, there wasn;t any caruve, in fact the results we
very stable and although we didn't do any analysis, it seems that as the ZPD
kicks in then the more able float to the top and so on.  The weakest girls
also made gains, but in the same order as straightforward learning results.
I don't know why this is so, and wold like to hear what other people have to
say. What intrigues me is the shape of the results and the fact that the
girls seemed to have s stable, consistent shape of ZPD. Can anybody help
with this finding
Thanks
