Our Methodology: Instructional Scaffolding
What is it?
The learning process designed to promote a deeper level of learning.
Scaffolding is the support given during the learning process that is tailored to the needs of the student with the intention of helping the student achieve his/her learning goals.
(R. Keith Sawyer The Cambridge Handbook of the Learning Sciences. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2006).>
It is the support mechanism given by a more competent individual –trainer- that helps a learner successfully perform a task within its ZPD.
(Zone of Proximal Development, Lev Vygotsky 1896–1934)
Instructional Scaffolding includes
The selection of the learning task
The task should ensure that learners train the skill that needs to be mastered. The task should also be interesting to keep learners engaged.
The anticipation of errors
After choosing the task, the teacher needs to anticipate the errors learners may commit when working on the task. Anticipation of errors enables the scaffolder to properly guide learners away from ineffective directions.
The application of scaffolds during the learning task
Scaffolds could be organised in “simple skill acquisition or they may be dynamic and generative.”
The consideration of affective factors
Scaffolding is not limited to a cognitive skill, but it also relates to emotive and affective factors. During the task, the scaffolder (expert) might need to manage and control the leaner’s frustration and loss of interest. Encouragement is also an important scaffolding strategy.
