Scaffolding is a term used to describe a strategy used in teaching and learning in which a supportive environment is created for students as they learn. The goal is to help students achieve independence in their learning by providing guidance and support while they are working on tasks.
Scaffolding strategies are ways to help children understand a subject or problem. These strategies help children by providing a framework that they can use to understand the problem and the subject.
Scaffolding can be used with any skill or subject. There are six common scaffolding strategies:
1. Introducing new information or concepts gradually.
2. Guiding students as they work on tasks.
3. Providing feedback and corrections.
4. Encouraging students to share their ideas.
5. Collaborating with students.
6. Providing support after the task is completed.
If you are using scaffold strategies with your students, make sure that you are using them in a way that is helpful and supportive. It is important to help your students understand the problem and the subject.
