The process depicted above explains the use of three strategies in instructional

scaffolding that is demonstrated for the lesson “The Earth’s Structure”. The first is the use of

think-pair-share which assists students to individually think about the topic or answer and share

the ideas with classmates and enhance oral communication skill.

The use of graphic organizers is a scaffolding tool that supports and shape the

students ’thinking. Visual aids stimulate some students especially after the teacher-led

demonstration in the first section of this lesson. For example, when asked to complete the

graphic organizer of the Earth’s structure, many completed the blanks before the actual

discussion.

The third strategy allows students time to discuss in their groups with guided questions

outlined by the teacher. This will allow for enlightened discussion among students in an attempt

to help students understand the information and also promote critical thinking in the classroom.

Students will explore and transfer information among and between themselves and reach that

internal stage of proximal development.

In concluding Instructional scaffolding is essential for the progress of all students. The

millennial development goals of the United Nations, is to develop an autonomous learner who is

able to think critically and creatively. Through scaffolding, learning is socially constructed

through interacting with the material as well as more knowledgeable individuals (Vygotsky,

1962).
