To review a decade of research on scaffolding within teacher–student interactions by examining its conceptual foundation, practical classroom applications, and instructional effectiveness.
Synthesized ten years of peer-reviewed educational literature addressing the conceptualization and enactment of teacher scaffolding.
Categorized descriptive classroom interaction studies and systematically reviewed available empirical effectiveness studies.
Identified contingency, fading, and the transfer of responsibility as the three foundational defining characteristics of instructional scaffolding.
Synthesized descriptive studies into a unified analytical framework that systematically differentiates scaffolding means from scaffolding intentions.
Found qualitative evidence supporting the educational effectiveness of scaffolding, while determining that empirical measurement of dynamic classroom interactions remains the primary research bottleneck.
