Abstract

The subject of the article is the teacher’s verbal activities supporting students’ learning in the classroom, and thus constituting a scaffold for their development, participation and deeper understanding of the explored topic, and as a result, their independence in thinking. A look at the “scaffolding” in the classroom environment will be achieved by referring to Urszula Dernowska’s book “<<Scaffolding>> in the didactic process. Teacher scaffolding study” (2022). This book deserves attention because it presents a diagnostic approach to actual communication events recorded during the lesson in natural conditions, in which the teacher is perceived as a participant in the lesson discourse. In addition, in the Polish scientific literature there is a noticeable lack of an exhaustive and monographic study directly exposing the issue of scaffolding in the school classroom. The article first considers the contemporary culture of learning and culture of thinking together with students, and then analyzes the cited scientific publication.
