Abstract

This study investigated the effects of the sequence of introducing two scaffolds (heuristic worked examples first vs. collaboration scripts first) and the fading of the primarily introduced scaffold (fading vs. no fading) on the acquisition of mathematical argumentations skills of university freshmen. Concerning dialectic mathematical argumentation skills, the scaffolds were most effective for learners with low working memory capacity when the collaboration script was primarily introduced, but then faded out.
