Any type of structural assistance (from peers or teachers and consisting of either verbal or physical prompts) introduced to organize information or guide responses embedded in the presentation of the item or task. Examples include the addition of highlights, underlines, outlines, crib sheets, or other information to "essentialize" the task or response.

A metaphor which describes the support offered by educators in assisting learners to achieve learning outcomes. It is characterized by the explicit training of skills and knowledge targeting specific individuals, small groups or, where appropriate, whole classes. Prior knowledge of the subject matter or the learning environment can help the learners regulate by providing a ready scaffold (stepping stone, learning aid) for new knowledge, or by making the learning environment easier to use so it doesn't displace the subject matter as the object of study.

a temporary platform used for tissue growth.

A three-dimensional biocompatible construct (may be seeded with cells) that serves as a temporary implantable tissue; generally fated to biodegrade and be replaced by natural tissue.

Scaffolding is a method of building database-backed software applications. It is a technique supported by some model-view-controller frameworks, in which the programmer may write a specification that describes how the application database may be used. The compiler uses this specification to generate code that the application can use to create, read, update and delete database entries, effectively treating the template as a "scaffold" on which to build a more powerful application.
