abstractive and complex issues. The aim of this study is to examine the scaffolding for help learners in order
to overcome lack of skills needed for learning.
Method: This is a review article and findings were extracted by examining relevant resources in scientific
databases like Science Direct، Ebsco ,Emerald & Sage in a period 2000 to 2014.
Findings: In this research, after a literature review, Scaffolding design strategies in e-learning environments
were investigated.
Conclusion: In e-learning environment, besides important factor of effective instructional design,
supporting learners by using scaffolds is essential. Technological scaffolds can provide procedural and
metacognitive supports for processes classroom and therefore support the learning process. |
