Adjustment across Task in Maternal Scaffolding in Low-Income Latino Immigrant Families.

Kermani, Hengameh; Janes, Helena A.

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v21 n2 p134-53 May 1999

Observations of 12 immigrant Latino mother-child dyads performing school-like and home-like tasks revealed that in the home-like task, mothers purposefully scaffolded learning, adjusted their scaffolding to variation in task, demonstrated a greater range and variety of scaffolding strategies, and accomplished scaffolding goals based on their social class and cultural blueprints. Contains 36 references. (Author/TD)
