Prof. Honebien observed that the degree of required structure within a learning environment is based on a) the learner&#39;s task and b) required scaffolding and that the standard of performance affects both. Here is my take away from his comments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Learner&#39;s Task: The tighter the standard of performance, the greater the required structure. So, if a Dr. needs to learn how to make an incision at a specific place in the body, this tight standard of performance would require high structure.\n\t<\/li>\n<li>Scaffolding: The degree of scaffolding increases or decreases based on the learners achievement toward the desired standards of performance. So, if a group of students falls off the rails on a wiki project, the professor would need to step in with very directed instruction to get them back on track \ud83d\ude09\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/instruction\" class=\"performancingtags\">instruction<\/a>, <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/learning\" class=\"performancingtags\">learning<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week and last, we have been discussing issues of structure in learning environments.
