What is Scaffolding in Teaching?

Scaffolding in teaching involves providing structured support to learners as they tackle new concepts or tasks. This method aims to bridge the gap between what students can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance.

Implementation in Education

Educators scaffold learning by breaking down complex skills into manageable steps and gradually reducing support as students gain proficiency. This approach fosters independence and enhances learning outcomes.
