DEVELOPMENT OF SCAFFOLDING TEACHING MODEL FOR ENHANCING INDEPENDENT LEARNING ABILITY ON UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN CHINA

Abstract

In this study, constructivism theory and the theory of "Zone of Proximal Development" are used to develop woodcut prints curriculum and construct scaffolding teaching model to improve students' independent learning ability. A total of 62 students from two groups were selected from 861,000 undergraduate students in Hubei Province through simple random sampling and cluster sampling. Secondly, through the results of student questionnaire survey and in-depth interview Expert, this paper analyzes the reasons for the low self-learning ability of students. Thirdly, the scaffolding teaching method is used to design the curriculum of Woodcut and carry out quasi-experiments in the experimental group, while the control group uses the traditional teaching model to carry out ordinary experiments. Finally, SPSS software was used to calculate the pre-test and post-test values of students' independent learning ability in the two groups. The results of paired sample T-test and independent sample T-test showed that the scaffolding teaching model could improve students' independent learning ability better than the traditional teaching model.
