Talk:Instructional scaffolding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diagree...the other page is a very narrow definition.

Scaffolding has a much broader definition now in e-learning.

I also disagree. "Scaffolding" is not a "theory". It is a process which is part of a particular theory of instruction [see J. Bruner, The Process of Education: Towards a theory of instruction (1966)].

To get a more definitive idea of the process of instructional scaffolding the following article would be ueful: Wood, D., Bruner, J., & Ross, G. (1976). The role of tutoring in problem solving. Journal of child psychology and psychiatry, 17, 89-100.

I concur with the previous post: Scaffolding is a technique that lives inside broader theories of learning.
