Scaffolding

Class is Human Development
Scaffolding is described in your textbook as “the support for learning and problem solving that encourages independence and growth” (Puntambekar & Hubscher, 2005; Blewitt et al., 2009; Jadallah et al., 2011; Angeli & Valanides, 2020), page 229). Provide an example of how an adult can scaffold (support) a 3- to 5- year-old. The example can be based on observation or memory (your experience as a child or with a niece or nephew, for example). Describe the tools that were used, such as direct instruction, breaking the task into manageable units or suggesting strategies. Conclude with an assessment of the technique. Your post should consist of at least 200 words.
