Explanations:
A child does not write a paragraph on her own even after brainstorming the topic. However, she is able to write it under adult or peer guidance. This guidance is called scaffolding. Scaffolding is a teaching technique used to support students learning by providing temporary guidance, structure and support as they develop new skills or understand complex concept. The idea is to provide a 'Scaffold' or framework to help students build their knowledge and abilities, which can be gradually removed as they become more confident and proficient.
