This paper explores the role of instructional scaffolding in the development of undergraduate students' understanding of mathematical proof during a one-year discrete mathematics course. We describe here the framework adapted for the analysis of wholeclass discussion and examine how the teacher scaffolded students' thinking. Results suggest that students who engage in whole-class discussions th...

Multivalency effects are essential in carbohydrate recognition processes as occurring on the cell surface. Thus many synthetic multivalent glycoconjugates have been developed as important tools for glycobiological research. We are expanding this collection of molecules by the introduction of carbohydrate-scaffolded divalent glycothymine derivatives that can be intramolecularily dimerized by [2 ...

This case study describes how two librarians transformed an international information literacy course by creating a scaffolded open pedagogy experience for students to build transferable skills while exploring is produced, disseminated, and interpreted across the world. The authors discuss we collaborated on project incorporate pedagogy, tools, strategies enhance learning. result was using help...

Literacy skills are critical for future success, yet over 60% of high school seniors lack proficient reading according to standardized tests. The focus on stakes, test performance may lead educators “teach-to-the-test” rather than supporting transferable comprehension strategies that students need. StairStepper can fill this gap by blending necessary prep and strategy practice in a fun, game-ba...

Scaffolding is a widely used educational practice in which directed instruction gradually decreases as student competence increases—resulting in increased independent learning. This research introduces and evaluates an MR-based system for technology-mediated scaffolding in anesthesia education. Through merging real and virtual objects, the system addresses a vital problem in merging abstract an...

Research suggests that dialogic reading and wordless picture books may improve narrative production comprehension leading to better school readiness. We aim understand children’s experiences using a book scaffolded by audio prompts. designed, implemented assessed the Spring-a-story web app with 35 children aged 3 6 in socio-economically-disadvantaged area UK. sought comprehend what extent appli...
