I realize that scaffolding is a temporary device that is used to learn new information and strategic integration is developing learned stuff that can be applied. Does strategic integration replace scaffolding in the learnng process as the learner becomes more independent?

I plan to use judicious review to help students better integrate what they are learning into their skill set overtime to prevent automatic deletion so that they can transfer the new content/skill into a service learning experience that will help the students to increase their confidence and decrease the risk of failure.

The realization that instructors need to assist adult learners to reset their mind filters (deletion, distortion and generalization) so that they will be able to delete information that does not have relevancy and keep/store non-distorted knowledge, skills and attitudes needed in long-term memory to perform both concrete and abstract thinking will help me to better understand how to structure learning activities so that the student is not overwhelmed in the learning process.
