The area or approach that I have chosen to do research on is scaffolding. The scaffolding strategy is actually a bridge that teaches as well as parents may use to build upon what students already know and to help them arrive at something they do not know. Scaffolding basically is a type of support for students. ... Scaffolding is an effective tool that helps students learn and execute new tasks building on what they know.
Scaffolding is a short-term support given to students that is slowly decreased as student’s ability increases or as students become more and more independent. ... Contingent scaffolding zeros in on the responses teacher have while interacting with their students during reading that will eventually end in independence. ... Students will learn how and when to use the strategy independently, scaffolding, at some point, will no longer be needed and the teacher stops giving cues. ... In this article, scaffolding is used to prove that “rich interpretation” of a Childs’ language is also necessary in early literacy learning. They believe that there are two types of the scaffolding process. ... In terms of what strategies children need to internalize when to read, is the basis for the type of scaffolding described in this article. ... We must seriously think about what students should be doing when reading and then use the scaffolding approach to support and improve upon their efforts. ... The scaffolding approach allows student to try new ways of thinking and interacting. ... Winn, 1994, she discusses the potential and challenges of scaffolding instruction. ... Decisions about scaffolding is determined by what the students(s) understand, internalize what the teacher wants them to understand. The relationship between the teacher and student(s) determined the type scaffolding needed and how effective or useful the scaffolding used is. ... Scaffolding involves continuous interaction between the teacher and his/her student(s), quick decisions about the tasks they are to complete, as well as what kinds of assistance the students need, as well as deciding what amount of support is needed to allow the students to build on their knowledge and understanding. Scaffolding instruction must be planned carefully. ... Teaching with the use of scaffolding addresses concerns about instruction that has become fragmented or broken up into so many chunks, that the students become confused last and disinterested. Some types of scaffolding may incorporate the use of concrete prompts, cues cards, modeling, cooperative learning etc. The teacher may use Vygostskys theory that a "student will not be successful alone but can be successful with the aid of scaffolding provided by more knowledgeable other"(Kemp, Nov. ... Scaffolding must begin as soon as a new concept is introduced and if done correctly, very little if any assistance, is given in the end. Scaffolding must be decreased slowly; making sure that the student(s) has bridged the gap between what he new and what he has learned. ... Making the goal clear is an important first step to scaffolding. ... Part of scaffolding is finding a simpler version of a task if students are experiencing great difficulty with an initial assignment”(Hogan & Pressley, 1997).
Scaffolding is viewed the same as adult /child interaction with the child’s ZPD. The research done on scaffolding was used in the context of “parent/child interactions”(Hogan & Pressley, 1997) with parents modeling desired results. ...
Scaffolding also involves the parent or the teacher provide the child with cultural knowledge, and background information through scaffolding but the child must be active and not passive during the tine that ideas are communicated. ... Scaffolding is an excellent tool used by adults, both parents and teachers that minimize ambiguity or confusion that lead to opportunities for growth. ... This support is what scaffolding is all about. In a dynamic exciting classroom, scaffolding best occurs in learning situations where the students have the opportunity to share their thoughts through discussion, conversation and support.
