A Pedagogical Analogy
a: An analogy ~
b: the scaffolding on a building
What: An analogy, in a learning context, is like the scaffolding on a new building. The scaffolding helps construct the building the way an analogy helps build understanding of a concept. The analogy is not the concept and scaffolding is not the building. The analogy is a means to an end.
