About this title

Synopsis

This first volume in the Advances in Learning and Teaching series explores the theory and practice of scaffolding -a style of instruction that provides students with the intellectual support to function at the cutting edge of their individual development. Scaffolding allows students to perform tasks that would be slightly beyond their ability without that assistance and guidance from the teacher. Rather than simply transmitting knowledge, teachers enter into conversational dialogues with students, helping them construct knowledge and understand and develop their thinking processes on instructional tasks.

This book addresses the how-tos of scaffolding students who need support to keep up, as well as those working to master difficult materials. It also examines the singular effectiveness of one-on-one tutoring -- analyzing why it works so well, and proposing ways to apply those principles to get similar benefits in larger-scale settings. A unique collection on a topic of great significance for instructional practice!
