THEORY/CONCEPT APPLICATION

As per defined, in the field of education, it is the

appropriate assistance given by the teacher to assist
the learner accomplish a certain task.
(under Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory)

Scaffolding can be applied in the teaching and

learning process by means of the general process.
Scaffolding

First, a teacher begins teaching at the level the

students can understand, and then she builds on that
understanding. She then presents the problem and
thinks aloud as she goes about solving it. In the
process, she shows how a solution is arrived by
combining actions, images, and language.

A better understanding of this process is done in

the following:
 A teacher repeats the aforementioned process
two or more times, asking questions of the
students along the way.
 Each answer, right or wrong, receives a positive
response from her, to encourage participation.
 More students are asked to respond to the
question each time it is repeated.
 Correction is provided as needed but reinforced
positively.
 When understanding appears to be achieved,
students join the teacher in solving a new
problem.
 Understanding is checked as they solve
problems. If more instruction is needed, more
modeling is provided.
 If the students demonstrates knowledge, the
teacher fades, or steps away, and allows
students to work independently, offering
support as needed.
