Scaffolding Ashley Blow Lesson Plan #3
What is scaffolding Providing support to student learning and then retreating that support so that the student becomes self-reliant. It is a way of guiding the students while they learn the material being taught
Ways to apply scaffolding Modeling Prompting Thinking out loud Use of the internet Guiding the students with a discussion Leading questions Group work Pairing advanced learners with developing ones
Putting together a study guide Teachers should Consider the needs of the students. Think about the difficulty of the subject. The purposes for the students having to learn the material.  Scaffolding implies continuous assessment of the student in order to provide adequate support.
How does it work Scaffolding can work in a number of ways depending on the instruction being provided.  By beginning with a basic knowledge base and then progressively moving ahead ensures that all students have a chance to understand the material (Glaser, 1984)  Learning occurs best when learners engage in tasks that are within their Zone of Proximal Development (ZDP) those performed independently by the student those that cannot be performed even with help, and  those that fall between the two extremes, tasks that can be performed with help from others.
Examples of scaffolding When parents try to teach their child to speak Helping students to sound out the letters in unfamiliar words Supplying a beginning sentence or idea as a start for writing Reading aloud with students as they are reading
Pros and Cons of Scaffolding Pros Helps maintain steady student teacher interaction Scaffolding permits students to continuously build upon previously acquired knowledge and skills.  Helps learners to move toward new skills, concepts, or levels of understanding  Cons Students can receive incorrect information from other students. The teacher needs to make sure they remove themselves from the learning process at the correct time in order for the student to learn independently.  Students learn at different speeds
