In the game peek-a-boo, the mother initially covers the baby. then she removes the cover and registers "surprise" at the infant's reappearance. this is an example of Scaffolding.
Explanation:
Pee-a-Boo is a play which is played with the infants. This play helps in the cognitive development of infants. It assists the children to learn to comprehend the objects and the faces to create an idea in their mind. They learn to understand the objects and to ensure the idea of the object. Scaffolding is a process by which a more experienced or competent person helps a less competent one.
Scaffolding as a metaphor in teaching and learning describes the adaptive and temporary support provided by a more competent person (e.g., teacher or adult) to a less competent person (e.g., student or child). For example; mother–child interaction during the game of peekaboo.
Scaffolding is one of the several aspects of effective instruction that can be applied in the context of language learning. Although teachers might be enthusiastic about the idea of scaffolding, it must be borne in mind that scaffolding is not simply synonymous with teacher support.
