Answer to Question #248683 in Philosophy for Ziyanda Ngese

Question

Discuss the implementation strategies when scaffolding in teaching.

Answer 1

Scaffolding is breaking up the learning into chunks and providing a tool, or structure, with each chunk. When scaffolding reading.

The teacher gives students a simplified version of a lesson, assignment, or reading, and then gradually increases the complexity, difficulty, or sophistication over time.

The teacher describes or illustrates a concept, problem, or process in multiple ways to ensure understanding.

Students are given an exemplar or model of an assignment they will be asked to complete. 

Students are given a vocabulary lesson before they read a difficult text.

The teacher clearly describes the purpose of a learning activity, the directions students need to follow, and the learning goals they are expected to achieve. 

The teacher explicitly describes how the new lesson builds on the knowledge and skills students were taught in a previous lesson.
