Subclaims¶

q2 i? Original scaffolding included three motivational and three cognitive strategies, but the field's attention to motivation has largely disappeared from highly cited and framework literature. → Belland Brian R. 2013 q2 i? Of fourteen published scaffolding frameworks examined, only four discussed student motivation, often only as future research. → Belland Brian R. 2013 (2)

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3

Bibliometric examination of scaffolding literature reported by the authors. Of the 10 most highly cited articles, only four even mentioned the word motivation, with all mentions described as secondary; none substantiated motivational claims with evidence.

"A search using the keyword scaffolding and the area education/educational research in the Web of Science showed that of the 10 most highly cited articles, only four even mentioned the word motivation"

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3

The authors' own review of scaffolding frameworks: an examination of 14 published scaffolding frameworks showed that only four discussed student motivation; motivation was often confined to future-research sections. The article also notes scaffolding "in its original sense was equal parts motivational and cognitive support."
