Abstract

Discourse analysis and grounded theory were used to study the responses of 12 preservice teachers (PTs) to scaffolding: 6 received content-informed scaffolding and 6 received performance feedback. PTs receiving content-informed scaffolding varied in the content and form of their scaffolding from PTs receiving performance feedback. Readiness to learn from scaffolding appears to be influenced by interest for mathematics and problem-oriented mathematical beliefs.
