what does the terminology 'Scaffolding principle' mean, refering to psychology?
the christians were at the forefront of the anti-slavery movement in this country. St. Patrick was almost single handedly responsible for eliminating slavery in Ireland in the 400s. Genocide is not a Christian principle. Self-defense is. The church did NOT run the cavalry, by the way. Immigration *legally* is allowed by all countries and the Europeans legally immigrated to North America and were accepted by the inhabitants. Invasion is a very strong and biased word.
The term scaffold is a Vygotskian metaphor for someone to support a learner through dialog, questioning, conversation, and nonverbal modeling, in which the learner attempts tasks that could not be done without that assistance. Identify five types of scaffolding: offering explanations, inviting participation, verifying and clarifying understandings, modeling of desired behaviors, and inviting them to contribute clues for reasoning through an issue or problem. Additional effective scaffolds, especially for struggling people, are to address the emotional.
Instructional scaffolding is the provision of sufficient supports to promote learning when concepts and skills are being first introduced to students. These supports may include: Resources A compelling task Templates and guides Guidance on the development of cognitive and social skills These supports are gradually removed as students develop autonomous learning strategies, thus promoting their own cognitive, affective and psychomotor learning skills and knowledge. Since the learner is portrayed as an active processor who explores, discovers, reflects, and constructs knowledge, the trend to teach from this perspective is known as the constructivist movement in education. As Bruning (1995, p. 216) explains, The aim of teaching, from a constructivist perspective, is not so much to transmit information, but rather to encourage knowledge formation and development of metacognitive processes for judging, organizing, and acquiring new information. Several theorists have embellished this theme. Rumelhart (1981), following Piaget, introduced the notion of schemata, which are mental frameworks for comprehension that function as scaffolding for organizing experience. At first, the teacher provides instructional scaffolding that helps the student construct knowledge. Gradually, the teacher provides less scaffolding until the student is able to construct knowledge independently. For example, in the History of Flight tutorial in Part Six of this book, a lot of scaffolding is provided at first as an aid to learning how to develop a multimedia application; gradually, the scaffolding is removed until the student is able to create new multimedia works independently. Skinner and the behaviorists used related techniques known as prompting and fading. A hierarchy of sequential prompts firms up and reinforces a student's skill, and fading removes the prompts gradually until the student can perform a task independently.
One sets of facts depend upon another being true. If the premise is only theory, then the conjecture which is supported by it is flimsy indeed.
