Scaffolding: Transforming Classroom Instruction to Support Student GrowthConley, KristinWilliams-Jackson, RebeccaJournal of College Literacy & Learning
Although new curricula and software tools now described as scaffolds have provided us with novel techniques to support student learning, the important theoretical features of scaffolding such as ongoing diagnosis, calibrated support, and fading are being neglected. This article discusses how to implement...

(Wood et al.1978) represents support that is tailored to a student’s understanding. Via fading, i.e., decreasing support, the responsibility for learning can be transferred which is the aim of scaffolding. However, this transfer is probably more effective when implemented contingently. Because ...
In this strategy, the teacher makes an explicit connection between a student or class of students' prior understanding and new learning. This strategy is best used within the context of a unit where each lesson connects to a lesson the students have just completed. The teacher can take advantag...
In this paper we consider the implications of moving from a paper‐based delivery of study support materials to electronic delivery. The paper is based on telephone interviews with 60 students who had received a range of study support materials from a series of 'student toolkits', which are pri...
