Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the process of scaffolding, the teacher helps the student master a task or concept that the student is initially unable to grasp independently. The teacher offers assistance with only those skills that are beyond the student’s capability.

Detailed explanation-2: -In summary, scaffolding is a teaching strategy that involves providing support for children’s learning that is well-timed and well-matched to the situation and child, and that helps the child to be more successful than they would be without support.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vygotsky coined a definition of instructional scaffolding that focused on teacher practices. He defined this as, ‘the role of teachers and others in supporting the learner’s development and providing support structures to get to that next stage or level’ (Raymond, 2000).

Detailed explanation-4: -When you incorporate scaffolding in the classroom, you become more of a mentor and facilitator of knowledge rather than the dominant content expert. The need to implement a scaffold will occur when you realize a student is not progressing on some aspect of a task or unable to understand a particular concept.
