Vygotsky introduced the concept of scaffolding to describe the type of help provided by more advanced thinkers. Scaffolding refers to the temporary support provided to novice learners to help them perform a task or solve a problem that they would not be able to do on their own. Scaffolding can take the form of asking leading questions, breaking down a task into smaller steps, providing feedback, and modeling how to perform a task.
