Scaffolding in education is very
d
similar to scaffolding in

construction. Scaffolding is a

Instructors provide support during initial
learning. This allows for learners to
accomplish tasks they otherwise could
not do on their own.
Once learners develop the skill, the
instructor can gradually remove the
scaffolding.
