Primes

• Fading
  • Education: Scaffolding is faded as students master a skill, transferring responsibility from teacher to learner — the "gradual release of responsibility" in which a teacher moves from modeling, to guided practice, to independent practice, deliberately reducing input at each stage.

    This sourceIntroduces the gradual release of responsibility model — cognitive work shifts deliberately from teacher modeling through guided practice to independent practice, reducing teacher input at each stage.

    SupportedVerified against the work's full text

    Pearson and Gallagher's model runs from teacher modeling through guided practice to independent practice, gradually releasing responsibility from teacher to student.

    “What comes in between these two extremes is the gradual release of responsibility from teacher to student, or-what Rosenshine might call "guided practice."”

    Read by an automated reader; not a human review. How support was checked

Domain-specific

• Gradual release of responsibility
  • Gradual release of responsibility is an instructional architecture in which responsibility for performing and regulating a target task shifts from predominantly teacher-held modeling to joint and guided participation and ultimately to learner-held independent work.

Mechanisms

• Educational Pictographic Scaffold
  • The explicit-then-withdrawn arc mirrors the gradual release of responsibility, where support moves deliberately from the teacher's shoulders to the student's.

    This sourceDescribes gradual release of responsibility as moving from teacher modeling and supported practice toward independent student performance.

• Scaffolded Acquisition and Fade
  • The withdrawal is deliberate and staged, following the gradual release of responsibility.

    This sourceDefines gradual release as a deliberate, staged transfer of responsibility from teacher to learner.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 4 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
