Explanation
Mixed-ability grouping is supported by Vygotsky's social constructivist theory - children of different abilities working together create opportunities for peer learning within the Zone of Proximal Development. More capable peers can scaffold less capable ones, while explaining concepts deepens understanding for the more capable. Ability grouping leads to labeling and limits learning opportunities.
