Discussion
Assertion (A) : Scaffolding provided by the teachers hinders the learning process of children.
Reason (R) : Lev Vygotsky proposed that children learn independently by acting upon and manipulating the environment.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: B
The answer is Both (A) and (R) are false.
The assertion is false. Scaffolding, the temporary and adjustable support a teacher gives within a child's zone of proximal development, helps learning; it lets children achieve what they could not yet manage alone, and is withdrawn as they gain competence.
The reason is also false. Learning independently by acting on and manipulating the environment is Piaget's picture of the child. Vygotsky stressed the opposite: that learning is social and is driven by interaction with more knowledgeable others. With both statements false, the remaining options do not apply.
