T48 RTD: Three definitions of scaffolding and their implications for future research and practices

• In Event: Roundtables - Thursday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables I - RTD

Short Description

Since scaffolding was first defined by Wood et al. in 1976, researchers have been using the term inconsistently. The purpose of this study is to analyze different definitions of scaffolding being used by using an analytical framework and to discover implications for future research and practices. Empirical studies on scaffolding published between 2000 and 2013 were selected and reviewed using an analytical framework based on the source, mode, and function of scaffolding.
