PGCE Research Bites 13 - Scaffolding Pupil Learning with Joseph Thomas & Dr James Snook

Welcome back to PGCE Research Bites! In this episode, PGCE Secondary Biology with Science student Joseph Thomas talks to Dr. James Snook about how he spent time in school trying to get a more in-depth understanding of scaffolding learning. While scaffolding is a well-known term, and many of the strategies Joseph came across during his investigation are familiar to all of us, he wanted to have a really good look at how it could work. Having done some reading, Joseph then tried out an intervention to help his pupils get to grips with a tricky topic.-----------------------------------------Recorded in studio B0.17, Cyncoed Campus, Cardiff Metropolitan University on 21st June 2022
