Option 3 : Giving hints and cues if children are stuck at some point while solving the problem.
Lev Vygotsky was a seminal Russian psychologist best known for his sociocultural theory. He believed that social interaction plays a critical role in children's learning a continuous process that is profoundly influenced by culture.
- Vygotsky scaffolding is a theory that focuses on a student's ability to learn information through the help of a more informed individual.
- When used effectively, scaffolding can help a student learn content they wouldn't have been able to process on their own.
- Here the teacher acts as a facilitator and provides hints and cues if children are stuck at some point while solving the problem.
- Vygotsky outlined scaffolding as a tool for growth. Learners complete small, manageable steps in order to reach the goal. Working in collaboration with a skilled instructor or more knowledgeable peers helps students make connections between concepts.
Hence option 3 is the correct option.
- On the other hand providing rigid step-by-step instructions to solve problems, punishing the children for incorrect answers and complete non-interference of the teacher in the process are not a part of the scaffolding theory of Vygotsky.
