From the perspective of Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) theory, productive struggle can be a key component of learning and growth. It represents a state of cognitive activation and engagement where a child strives to understand and master new information or skills.

In a Vygotskian framework, productive struggle has the potential to propel cognitive development and purpose development by allowing children to engage in meaningful exploration and problem-solving. By engaging in constructive struggle, children can develop a deeper understanding of concepts and ideas, learn to apply them to different scenarios, and discover their unique abilities and purpose.
