Abstract

An experimental exercise on multivariate observation of a proximal development zone process was replicated, in solving a numerical problem, with university science students. In previous studies, a face-to-face observation model was applied, in group session, but under the health contingency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was decided to replicate this same observation in a non-face-to-face way (online) within a virtual classroom. Forty students participated, randomly divided into two groups with twenty participants each, these being the "control" and the "experimental" group. It was possible to observe, in the case of some students of the “experimental” group, a learning process in which we infer that Vygotsky's zone of proximal development is involved. As a relevant contribution of this report, the detailed description of the algorithm used is made, for the experimental or quasi-experimental comparison of a multivariate approach, in the observation of an event where a process of proximal development zone may be involved. The equation that is described and tested is an original contribution in the fields of experimental pedagogy and educational psychology.
