    Scaffolding Method

    Uploaded by

    Mary
    The scaffolding method is a teaching strategy based on Vygotsky's zone of proximal development. It involves a tutor explaining a process from start to finish and providing detailed examples for students. As students gain skills, the tutor reduces support by having students explain the process, redo assignments with less guidance, and eventually allowing students to complete work independently. Key features include intentionality, appropriateness of support, structured collaboration, and helping students internalize new strategies. Scaffolding uses techniques like guided practice, group work, handouts, study groups, review, and mnemonics to provide the right amount of assistance.
