Detailed explanation-1: -2. Using the principle of scaffolding involves which of the following? Grouping two students of the same cognitive level together in order to solve a problem.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the context of problem solving, scaffolding involves the structuring of the process, as well as metacognitive and procedural prompting (Reiser, 2004). Scaffolding enables learners to internalise the guidance through distributed practice and, eventually, self-regulate their cognitive actions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Instructional scaffolding is a process through which a teacher adds supports for students in order to enhance learning and aid in the mastery of tasks. The teacher does this by systematically building on students’ experiences and knowledge as they are learning new skills.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, we can conclude that providing a half-solved example is a good example of ‘scaffolding (learning of a problem-solving task till the student can do it by herself).
Detailed explanation-5: -The teacher then supports students by: Breaking the directions into small chunks. Talking students through the task while they complete it. Grouping students together to talk through the task and support each other.
