Scaffolding PIDP 3250 Instructional Strategies Digital Project Presented By Johnson Yu
What is Scaffolding? • A technique that provides students with temporary support needed to complete complex learning tasks on their own • Examples of support can be clues, prompts, reminders, hints, explanations, examples and many others • As learners develop the skills needed to achieve or master learning tasks, these supports are gradually removed and the responsibility of learning shifts from instructor to student
Examples of Scaffolding in a Culinary Class • Demonstrate the task while students observe and are able to inquire about procedures • Talk through the thought processes you would engage as you carry out the task
Examples of Scaffolding in a Culinary Class • Have students go through process and guide where necessary showing students where mistakes are likely to occur
Examples of Scaffolding in a Culinary Class • Once students understand and can carry out tasks, assign topics relating to the task and discuss in groups
Role of the Educator • Mentoring and being a role model • Facilitator of knowledge • To give immediate support • Encourage hands-on learning
Role of Learner • Takes ownership of the learning process • To imitate tasks while understanding steps being taken with a hands on approach • Take learning further to question procedures with peers and receive feedback
Pros Of Scaffolding • Provides learners with immediate support for tasks that is otherwise unachievable on their own • Challenges students through deep learning and discovery • Motivates learners to become better students(Learning how to learn) • Increases likelihood to progress in instructional objectives
Cons of Scaffolding • Planning and implementing can be time consuming • Knowing when to remove scaffolds so the learner does not rely too heavily on support given • Some see it as ‘coddling’ students • Not knowing students well enough to provide proper scaffolds for assignments
