1. Discuss how Modeling and Scaffolding affect in the child’s learning progress.
In its real sense, Modeling and Scaffolding are all types of support. These two plays a vital role in the development of a child’s learning progress. As defined, modeling is a process of presenting a desired behavior so that it can be imitated by the learner. Meanwhile, scaffolding is expressed as giving support to a child in order to help accomplish the performance of a task, whereby helping the child to attain its maximum learning potential.
In association to that of the child’s learning progress, it gives a great impact to the learner. This impact could either be negative or positive that a child can learn or lacks autonomy. However, since modeling focuses on imitation of the performance of an expert, and scaffolding can uses modeling in some aspect, the support that is given by modeling performance and scaffolding should be faded away to help learners become self-reliant.
