“Wood et al. (1976) define effective scaffolding as ‘‘...controlling those elements of the task that are initially beyond the learners capability, thus permitting him to concentrate upon and complete only those elements that are within his range of competence’’ (p. 9). Doyle (1986) defines scaffolding similarly as an i…”

“In this article, we use the term “instructional support” in a liberal sense, denoting all kinds of support that help learners engage in a practice that would otherwise be out of reach (cf. Davis & Miyake, 2004; Jackson et al., 1994; Simons & Klein, 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
