CHAPTER 01: INTRODUCTION

Background of the Research

It is important to consider that at present, with a rapidly changing environment where a specific piece of information can become outdated quickly; the target skills cognitive form the basis of independent learning for life is very necessary. Scaffolds help students to develop cognitive skills for information management. The scaffold helps in understanding of concepts / reasoning, organization, communication and implementation. It is therefore necessary that Teachers provide a variety of opportunities, continuous and well planned extend the powers in the management of information by students. Cognitive Scaffolding is a temporary structure or frame as a strategy to help students organize information into meaningful units, analyze and produce new responses, skills and concepts.

This concept was coined by Ross as a metaphor to describe the effective involvement of a partner, an adult or a competent person for the learning process of another person. The scaffolds used for subjects in development reach proficiency levels not could get for themselves. Scaffolding allows us to explain the function tutorial support or building bridges covering cognitive faculty with their students. Scaffolding implies that in interventions tutorials the teacher must maintain an inverse relationship with the level of competition in the job learning expressed by students, so that control over the learning is gradually ceded and transferred to the student.

Research Objective

The objective of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of scaffolding in learning.

CHAPTER 02: LITERATURE REVIEW

This section presents a review of scaffolding in learning, which is very useful today, because students have the opportunity to retain a lot of information by the method of scaffolding. Sometimes a specific data become outdated quickly which requires that students have skills for managing information, and at the same time requires teachers to know and manage the strategy that allows teachers to guide the student toward the right direction. This paper describes the concepts of different authors, their functions, and types of scaffolding in learning that can be used for receiving information, transform and create new knowledge in multiple activities. (Sandoval, 2004, 345-72)

Scaffold is as a temporary structure that provides support at specific points in the learning process, and the types of scaffolding proposed use of three key moments, the Reception, Transformation and ...
