SCAFFOLDING- is the systematic
manner of providing assistance to the
learner that helps the learner to
effectively acquire skill.
His concept of zone proximal development (ZPD) illustrates this.
Bronfenbrenner’s model also known as the
Ecological Systems Theory presents child
development within the context or
relationship systems that comprise the
child’s environment. The model is composed
of microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem,
macrosystem and the chronosystem.
