Scaffolding and ZPD · CDP

Over-scaffolding occurs when:

  1. Support closely matches the learner's needs
  2. Too much support limits independence
  3. Support is gradually withdrawn over time
  4. The tasks given are always far too easy
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Too much support limits independence

Providing excessive support prevents learners from developing autonomy. This undermines the purpose of scaffolding.
