 Changing level of support over the course of  a teaching session
 
 > _n._ in education, a teaching style that supports and facilitates the student as they learn a new skill or concept, with the ultimate goal of the student becoming self-reliant. Derived from [[Vygotsky's Sociocultural Cognitive Method|Lev Vygotsky’s theories]], in practice it involves teaching material just beyond the level at which the student could learn alone. Technologies (e.g., computer software) that may be used to assist in this process are known as scaffolded tools.

+>*n.* **understanding a person from their frame of reference rather than one’s own**, or vicariously experiencing that person’s feelings, perceptions, and thoughts. Empathy does not, of itself, entail motivation to be of assistance, although it may turn into sympathy or personal distress, which may result in action. In psychotherapy, therapist empathy for the client can be a path to comprehension of the client’s cognitions, affects, motivations, or behaviors. See also perspective taking. —empathic or —empathetic adj. —empathize vb.
