The document discusses how the concept of scaffolding has transformed as learning has moved from natural to digitally mediated and hybrid forms. It provides an overview of scaffolding from its origins in the tutor/student dynamic to its application in technology-mediated learning environments. Scaffolding is now seen as a process that can involve multiple actors, be distributed across groups and technologies, and focus on supporting the emergence of collective phenomena to facilitate learning. While challenges remain in fully realizing scaffolding in socio-technical systems, the concept continues to provide a useful framework for understanding how to effectively support learning through adaptive assistance within rich learning environments.

Virtual Worlds in Education: Coming of the Third WaveHelen Farley
The Gartner Hype Cycle has placed virtual worlds on the climb up the Slope of Enlightenment. While some authors in the past have made much of the educational use of virtual worlds languishing in the Trough of Disillusionment, there has been a community of authors, designers and educators working to further understanding of the imitations and affordances of such technologies. It is time to pool this knowledge, experience, tools and practice to solidify best practice, focus research on development of specific elements and forge ahead to shape the third wave of educational virtual worlds. This paper attempts to outline this information and practice while offering solutions for further development.

Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. The topic of my talk
How has scaffolding concept changed as
learning moved from natural to digitally mediated
and hybrid forms?
3. Doing where
and how?
Phenomena of support
Training
Mentoring
Scaffolding
Nudging
Coaching
Facilitating
Apprenticeship
Doing what?
Doing why?
4. Scaffolding metaphor (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976)
Scaffolding is a systematic
approach of support that
focuses on the
relationships between the
task, the teacher and the
learner (Jonassen, 1999)
Scaffolding is a form of dyadic
adult-child interaction, a form
of support ‘that enables a child
or novice to solve a problem,
carry out a task or achieve a
goal which would be beyond
his unassisted efforts’ (Wood
et al., 1976)
scaffold
facilitator
student
5. Scaffolding in dialogic situations
The metaphor of scaffolding (Wood, Bruner, & Ross, 1976) is used to illustrate the effective
supportive processes that enable the learners to solve a problem, carry out a task, or achieve a
goal that would be beyond their unassisted efforts.
Scaffolding is:
‘‘providing support at the right level of the current skill while a student is carrying out the task and
then gradually fading out of assistance’’ (Järvelä, 1995)
‘‘providing assistance to students on an as-needed basis with fading out of assistance as the
competence increases’’ (Pressley, Hogan, Wharton-McDonald, Mistretta, & Ettenberger, 1996)
According to the concept of the zone of proximal development (Vygotsky, 1978), scaffolding
helps to decrease the distance between students’ actual developmental level, as determined
by independent problem solving, and the level of their potential development as determined
through problem solving under adult or peer guidance.
6. Scaffolding actors
‘Tutee’
has knowledge, skills, needs
has responsibility ‘to take
ownership of their learning’ (Järvelä
1996)
tutee’s partial ‘comprehension of
the solution must precede
production’ (Wood et al.1976)
must have the ‘ownership of the
activity to be learned’ (Langer and
Applebee, 1986)
‘Tutor’
Have certain abilities to imitate, model
the advanced solution paths for tutees
(Wood et al, 1976)
Must be aware of the tutee’s skill level
(Wood et al, 1976; Palinscar and Brown,
1984)
Should be able to experience empathic
understanding of a tutee’s internal
reference framework (Rasmussen,
2001). Has sensitivity to adjustment to
the tutee’s needs (Järvelä, 1996).
Can provide recruitment of interest,
maintain goal orientation, control
frustration, highlight critical task
features, demonstrate idealized solution
paths, and reduce the tutee’s degrees of
freedom (Wood et al, 1976).
Doing where
and how?
Doing what?
Doing why?
7. Scaffolding process
The ‘scaffolding process’
● The tutees must be actively involved and enforced to participate in turn taking with the
tutor (Palinscar & Brown, 1984; Järvelä, 1995; Vauras et al., 1993).
● Actors must have a mutual understanding of each other’s intentions and the way the goal is
conceptualized (Fleer 1992)
● Delicate negotiation processes (Merrill et al., 1995)
● Not the completion of the task must be scaffolded but the understanding of the tutee how
to conceptualize the task through the proper steps of action (Stone, 1998).
● Is increasing the tutee’s growing appreciation of the new procedure (Stone, 1998).
● Tutee’s ‘internalization’ will be evoked, that is based not the adult’s situation definition, but the
jointly elaborated situation definition of two actors (Langer & Applebee, 1986; Elbers et
al., 1992)
● Tutor provides the support at the right level of skill, which comprises the teacher’s sensitive
regulation on the basis of the students’ interactions, and fading out of assistance when
students’ competence increases (Järvelä, 1995; Pressley et al.,1996)
8. Scaffolding situation
The ‘scaffolding situation’
● Influences the interchange with specific features and captures the ‘who, what, where,
when, and why of an event’ (Tharp & Gallimore, 1988)
● Takes place in a certain context, with the culture of the particular community (Rogoff,
1990)
● The tutee interprets any communal moves in the activity context (Tharp & Gallimore,
1988)
● Only if the scaffolding activity is goal-embedded motivation will be provided Palinscar
and Brown (1984)
● Activity context influences the extent of tutee’s affective engagement in the task and the
interpersonal exchange.
9. Scaffolding in a group
Learners can be assisted in building new
knowledge structures, both with the help of the
teacher who models the desired learning strategy or
task and then gradually shifts responsibility to the
students, or with the help of more advanced peers
who help the less sophisticated students in the
learning process (Pressley et al., 1996)
According to Rasmussen (2001), communication
can be viewed as the mutual scaffolding, which
invites participants to develop and test their own
constructions of meaning with others, discussing
individual interpretations, draft hypotheses, or
possible solutions.
10. Dialogic acts in scaffolding
Different tutoring styles have different effect on students’ in groups (Pata et al., 2005).
Validation acts
Scaffolding is a semiotic uptake, an “appropriation of
meaning” (Wertch & Stone, 1985)
11. Scaffolding in groups
Zone of Proximal Development applies potentially to all participants in groups and is the learning
potential in small groups where students have incomplete but relatively equal expertise and where
each partner who possesses some knowledge and skills requires the others’ contribution in order to
make progress (Wells, 1999; Forman, 1989; Goos et al., 2002)
Tutor and students use similar types
of scaffolding acts (Pata et al., 2005)
and elaborate and replace each
other’s scaffolding acts in the
collaborative decision-making
situations (Pata et al., 2006)
Multi-actor scaffolding model (Pata, 2005)
12. Technology mediated scaffolding
In technology mediated scaffolding situations the technology can preserve the
dialogic (between agents) and trialogic acts (agents’ interactions with artifacts)
● In real time - in chatlog, on the ‘wall’, (and preserved by algorithm)
● Asynchronously - as a logfile, as a production history with artifact or variations
of artifacts accumulated in the system
Technology functionalities may replace some of the dialogic acts: with likes, stars,
emoticons
Scaffolding acts act as dynamic signals, for mutual interaction (like in flocks)
Scaffolding acts may accumulate in the environment in the form of collective
phenomena (e.g. trust) and grow or dissipate in time as other communicative acts
(like signal traits of ants)
13. Scaffolding in a professional online community
Pata et al., 2016
The communities scaffold its members through the collective phenomena
14. Can a chatbot scaffold?
Machine learning algorithms have to dynamically elicit users’ incomplete problem
models and fit with the accumulated experts models to fade out of support.
15. Can a recommendation engine scaffold?
How can the recommender system fade out of
support or provide scaffolds rather than solutions?
Instead of recommending concrete examples, suggesting the ‘patterns’, prototypes, rulesets? Besides of
fit suggesting bad fit as well?
16. Could technology scaffold by mediating good
practices, community values, ideas, opportunities etc.
as accumulated affordance niches?
Pata, 2009
18. Scaffolding in socio-technical systems
A big social experiment to elicit the discourse
acts for mutual situation definitions, intentions
and values between humans and nonhuman
agents?
19. Can nudges be scaffolds?
Nudge is any aspect of the
choice architecture that
alters people's behavior in a
predictable way without
forbidding any options or
significantly changing their
economic incentives
Damgaard & Nielsen, 2018
Reciprocal validation acts should be implemented as
part of nudges to fade out the nudges that were
internalised
20. Scaffolding in distributed cognition framework
