Benefits of Scaffolding:
1. Provides a welcoming and supportive learning environment
2. Students do not feel free to ask questions and support each
other through new learning
3. Learner frustration is reduced
4. Learners feel involved and encourage them to learn
5. A teacher using scaffolding becomes more of a mentor and a
facilitator of knowledge, not a mainstream content expert.
6. This teaching method allows students to play a more active
role in their learning process.
7. Scaffolding engages students in meaningful and dynamic
discussion
8. Students are challenged through deep learning and discovery
9. Scaffolding provides individualized instruction and as a
result increases the likelihood that students will achieve educational goals.
10. Scaffolding programs can act as a potential early identifier
for a gifted and talented student
11. There is greater emphasis that students will fully
understand and acquire the required skill, knowledge or ability
12. Provides a structured and focused free flow lesson where
glitches have been minimized or eliminated before starting
13. Creates momentum within the classroom, where students are on
assignment, spend less time searching for information and instead learning and
discovering
Challenges of Scaffolding:
1.Scaffolding planning and implementation takes a long time
and requires a lot
2. Choose suitable scaffolds to suit students' diverse
learning and communication styles
4. Students do not know well enough (their cognitive and
emotional abilities) to provide the appropriate scaffold
5. Lack of staff
6. Probability of underestimating the area of near
development; success depends on identifying the area beyond the boundaries of
students' abilities but not far from them
7. Develop inappropriate models of desired behaviors,
strategies, or activities because the teacher did not take into account the
student's individual needs, preferences, interests, and abilities (such as not
showing the student how to "double-click" an icon when using the
computer).
8. Full benefits are not visible unless trained properly
9. It requires the teacher to give up control when fading
occurs
10. Lack of specific examples and tips in teacher versions of textbooks
