Scaffolding
Vygotsky
“role of teachers and others in supporting the learner’s development and providing support structures to get to that next stage or level” (Raymond, 2000, p. 176).
the goal of the educator when using the scaffolding teaching strategy is for the student to become an independent and self-regulating learner and problem solver (Hartman, 2002).
Scaffolding

from what is already known and are assisted with scaffolding to work to the unknown
• Students are more motivated when they have an easy text with a task at their level of competence
