Scaffolding refers to providing contextual supports for learning through simplified language, modeling, visuals and cooperative learning. It involves guiding a learner's development with focused questions and interactions. Jerome Bruner first introduced the theory of scaffolding in the 1950s to describe how parents facilitate children's language acquisition through informal instruction. Lev Vygotsky introduced the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), defined as the difference between what a learner can do independently and what they can do with guidance. Within the ZPD, learning is most effective when aimed at the learner's potential rather than independent level. Scaffolding helps learners develop skills within their ZPD before the supports are gradually removed.
The zone of proximal development (ZPD) has been defined as:"the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solWood et al. (1976, p. 90)
definition of scaffolding: 'Those elements of the task that are initially beyond the learner’s capacity, thus permitting him to concentrate upon and complete only those elements that are within his range of competence'.ving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers" (Vygotsky, 1978, p. 86).

Social constructivism focuses on the collaborative nature of learning. Knowledge develops from how people interact with each other, their culture, and society at large. Students rely on others to help create their building blocks, and learning from others helps them construct their own knowledge and reality. Social constructivism, a social learning theory developed by Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, posits that individuals are active participants in the creation of their own knowledge. While social constructionism focuses on the artifacts that are created through the social interactions of a group, social constructivism focuses on an individual's learning that takes place because of his or her interactions in a group. A very simple example is an object like a cup. Cognitive constructivism comes from the work of Jean Piaget and his research on cognitive development in children. Social. Social constructivism focuses on the collaborative nature of learning. Knowledge develops from how people interact with each other, their culture, and society at large. This is the Theory proposed by Piaget and Vygotsky.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Scaffolding
• Scaffoldingrefers to providingcontextual
supports for meaningthrough the use of
simplifiedlanguage, teacher modeling,visuals
and graphics,cooperative learningand hands-on
learning.
• Scaffoldingis the way the adult guides the child's
learningvia focusedquestions andpositive
interactions.
3. Theory of Scaffolding
Scaffoldingtheory wasfirstintroducedinthe late 1950s
by Jerome Bruner, a cognitivepsychologist.He used the
term to describe young children's oral language
acquisition.Helped by their parents when they firststart
learningto speak, young childrenare provided with
informalinstructionalformats withinwhich their learning
is facilitated.Bed-time storiesand read aloudare
additional examplesof book-centered interaction.

5. Zone Of Proximal Development
• Thezone of proximaldevelopment,oftenabbreviatedas ZPD, is
thedifferencebetweenwhata learnercan dowithouthelpand
whathe or shecan dowith help.It isa concept introduced,yetnot
fullydeveloped,by Soviet psychologist LevVygotsky(1896–
1934) during thelastten years ofhis life.
• Thezone of proximaldevelopmentis an areaoflearning that
occurs whena personis assistedby a teacher or peerwitha higher
skillsetofthesubject.The person learningthe skillset cannot
completeit withoutthe assistanceoftheteacher or peer.

7. Types Of Scaffolding
Three types of scaffolding have been identified asbeing especially
effective for second language learners.
1.Simplifying the language: The teacher can simplify the language by
shortening selections, speaking in the present tense, and avoiding the use
of idioms.
2.Asking for completion, not generation: The teacher can have students
choose answers from a list or complete a partially finished outline or
paragraph.
3.Using visuals: The teacher can present information and askfor students
to respond through the use of graphic organizers, tables, charts, outlines,
and graphs.
8. Essential features of scaffolding
There are three essentialfeaturesof scaffoldingthatfacilitate
learning.
• The first featurehas to do withthe interaction betweenthe
learner and theexpert.
• The second, learningshould take place in the learner’s zone of
proximal development.
• The thirdfeatureof scaffoldingis that thescaffold,the
support and guidance provided by the expert, is gradually
removed as the learner becomes more proficient.
9. Theconcept Zone Of Proximal Development
• Theconcept ofthezone of proximaldevelopmentwas originally
developedby Vygotskytoargue againstthe useofacademic,
knowledge-basedtestsas ameanstogaugestudents'intelligence.
Healso createdZPD to further developJeanPiaget'stheory of
children beinglonelearners.
• Vygotsky(1978) believedthatlearning isnot development;
however, healso believedthatproperly organizedlearningresults
inmentaldevelopmentand setsintomotiona varietyof
developmentalprocesses thatwouldnot occur withoutthe
process oflearning.
10. • Skillsand understandings containedwithina child’s ZPD arethe
ones thathave notyetemergedbut could emergeif thechild
engagedin interactionswithknowledgeableothers (peers and
adults)or inother supportive contexts(such as make-believeplayfor
preschool children).
• AccordingtoVygotsky,the mosteffectiveinstructionis thekind
thatis aimednotat thechild’s levelof independentperformancebut
is insteadaimedwithintheZPD. This instruction does morethan
increasea child’s repertoireofskillsand understandings;it actually
produces gainsin childdevelopment.
11. Vygotsky’s Hypothesis
Vygotsky’s (1978) hypothesis consists of two features.
• First, it suggests thatdevelopmental processes do notcoincide
withlearning processes, but instead, developmental
processes lags behind learning, resultingin zones of proximal
development.
• The second featuresuggeststhatalthoughlearningdirectly
relates to child development, thetwo are never accomplished
at thesame time, as thereare highlycomplex dynamic
relations betweendevelopment and learning.
12. Vygotsky`s developmental levels
Vygotsky proposes two developmental levels:
• TheZone of Proximal Development:
The zone of proximaldevelopment, whichis theresult of the
learning/development sequence suggested inhis hypothesis, and
actualdevelopment.
• ActualDevelopment:
Actual development defines functions that have alreadymatured and
are the products of development .
• Zone of Proximal Developmentand Scaffolding:
The ZPD concept is seen as a scaffolding,a structure of "support points"
for performing anaction.
