from
Wikipedia
Reciprocal scaffolding, a method first coined by Holton and Thomas, is a method that involves a group of two or more collaboratively working together.
The scaffolding is shared by each member and changes constantly as the group works on a task ( Holton and Clarke, 2006 ).
According to Vygotsky, students develop higher-level thinking skills when scaffolding occurs with an adult expert or with a peer of higher capabilities ( Stone, 1998 ).
Conversely, Piaget believes that students discard their ideas when paired with an adult or student of more expertise ( Piaget, 1928 ).
Conflicts would then take place between students allowing them to think constructively at a higher level.
