Steps in Move 1
Title: Scaffolding Complex Learning: The Mechanisms of
Structuring and Problematizing Student Work Author: Brian J. Reiser Journal: THE JOURNAL
OF THE LEARNING SCIENCES, 13(3), 273–304
Generalization
1. There is much interest in
education reform in using technology to support learners.
Zoom in on one specific focus
2. One aspect of the argument for technology has been that--software can be used to help learners succeed in more complex tasks than they
could otherwise master (Davis& Linn, 2000; Edelson, Gordin, & Pea, 1999; Guzdial,
1994; Quintana, Eng, Carra, Wu,&Soloway,
1999; Reiser et al., 2001).
Definition of that specific focus, scaffolding
3.Researchers have
invoked the notion of scaffolding, a construct crafted to characterize how more experienced peers or adults can assist learners.
(definition of that specific focus called scaffolding)
4. As defined in
early research, scaffolding is said to occur when a more knowledgeable
person helps a learner succeed in tasks that would be otherwise beyond their
reach (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976).
5.In the last two
decades of learning sciences research, scaffolding has become increasingly prominent.
6.Scaffolding is a key strategy in cognitive
apprenticeship, in which students can learn by taking increasing
responsibility in complex problem solving with
the guidance of more knowledgeable mentors or teachers
(Collins, Brown, & Newman, 1989).
7.Many different
approaches to scaffolding have emerged from the design research on
interactive learning environments, --and a variety of design guidelines or principles
have been proposed (Edelson et al., 1999; Guzdial, 1994; Kolodner, Owensby, & Guzdial, 2004;
Linn, 2000; Reiser et al., 2001).
