Scaffolding
Definition
Scaffolding is support given to a learner that is gradually withdrawn as they become able.
In practice
Doing the hard part with a child, then beside them, then nearby, then not at all.
The common failure is never withdrawing, which is also the most common criticism of how AI homework help is currently used.
