Question

Taahira is a 3-year-old trying to complete a large 50-piece puzzle. She is having difficulty, so her mother tells her how to find the corners of the puzzle. Then she tells her to look for the flat-sided pieces to make the frame. Taahira is able to do that and then needs more help to complete the rest of the puzzle. Her mother gives her hints as to how to find pieces that match up based on the colors and looking at the picture of the puzzle on the box. What technique did her mother use?

Answer 1

Answer:

Scaffolding                    

Explanation:

Scaffolding: The term Scaffolding is given by Vygotsky, which is a part of the zone of proximal development. The zone of proximal development is defined as a set of knowledge and skills that a child can't do on his or her own instead can do with someone else's help such as parents or teachers.

Through scaffolding parents and teachers demonstrate the procedure of problem-solving for the child and help the child learning new skills to reach his or her goals.

In the question above, Taahira's mother is using the Scaffolding technique.
