Steps in Move 2
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

To add to what is known: The need of greater clarity of design guidelines for scaffolding tools

8. To engage in development and study of design guidelines requires greater clarity concerning what is meant that a tool has scaffolded learners,

Same as above 8.1. and requires a model of how the tool has benefited learners.
  9.In particular, it is important to characterize the mechanisms by which a software tool can provide scaffolding for learners.
 

10. Developing a system of design guidelines for scaffolded software requires such a model of mechanisms that explain why a tool reflecting these guidelines would benefit learners.
