What does scaffolding provide for students?

  1. Inner speech that guides thinking and actions

  2. What everybody brings to the table

  3. Support for learning and problem-solving

  4. Formal assessment at the end of instruction

The correct answer is: Support for learning and problem-solving

Scaffolding provides support for students during the learning process, helping them to develop their problem-solving skills. Option A may describe a benefit of scaffolding, but it is not the purpose or function of scaffolding. Option B does not accurately describe scaffolding, which is an instructional technique rather than a metaphor for collaboration. Option D is unrelated to scaffolding, which occurs during instruction rather than at the end. Option C is the best choice because it accurately describes the function of scaffolding, which is to provide support and guidance for students as they engage in learning and problem-solving activities.
