“…Central to successful scaffolding, in a constructivist view of learning and teaching, is awareness that: there must exist creative tension around the cultural foundation of student work and the scaffold upon which an outside learning task is built (Allsup, 2002, p. 359); intersubjectivity (Newson & Newson, 1975; Riegel, 1979; Rogoff, 1990; Wertsch, 1979) or shared understanding of the activity is critical; learners must have a sense of agency—they must know “their ideas are valued and central to their learning process” (Wiggins, Blair, Ruthmann, & Shively, 2006, p. 90); and the most important role of a teacher is to support and enable learners to construct their own meaning of experience (Fosnot, 2005; Rogoff, 1990; Wiggins, 2015). Thus, an essential element of scaffolding in this study is that, through social interaction, participants negotiate or compromise by constantly striving for a shared view of the situation within the learners’ zone of proximal development (Vygotsky 1978, p. 86).…”
