The original scaffolding metaphor included the eventual removal or "fading" of the scaffolding. This aspect of scaffolding has yet to be thoroughly investigated. ... A notable exception is the recent study by McNeill et al. (2006) of scaffolds for students' evidence-based explanations. They found that middle school students in a 2-month project-based unit performed better on posttests requiring explanations if the scaffolding was gradually faded during the instructional unit, rather than if the scaffolding was continued throughout the entire unit. 3, record 4, English, - fading

Dans cette perspective, la fonction du pédagogue est d’estimer - avec une marge d’appréciation qui est nécessairement un peu approximative - le niveau de développement atteint et de proposer des acquisitions légèrement mais nettement supérieures : dans un premier temps, le sujet ne pourra fonctionner «au dessus de ses possibilités» qu’avec tout un dispositif d’étayage, dans un second temps, il parviendra à l’autonomie dans l’exercice et l’usage de ces fonctions nouvelles si on prend la peine de procéder à un désétayage progressif. 3, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9s%C3%A9tayage

Free learning may be all very well and good for the future, but what about those of us who have already been through the system? How can we establish a more positive and fruitful relationship to learning? The answer, it seems to me, is to clean out the garbage, expand your learning skills, and then use those skills. It is never too late to start being a free learner. As a start along that direction, I would especially recommend Jean Houston's The Possible Human. Get together with some friends and start a learning circle devoted to expanding your learning capacities. You might be amazed at the results. 1, record 5, English, - free%20learner
