The Consequences of Negative Scaffolding for Students Who Learn Slowly--A Commentary on C. Addison Stone's "The Metaphor of Scaffolding: Its Utility for the Field of Learning Disabilities".

Biemiller, Andrew; Meichenbaum, Donald

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v31 n4 p365-69 Jul-Aug 1998

This commentary on C. Addison Stone's paper on scaffolding for the learning disabilities field suggests that many current applications prevent rather than encourage transfer of responsibility to students for learning and task accomplishment and that current practices in many schools may result in "reverse-scaffolding".
