Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey say that helping students develop immediate and lifelong learning skills is best achieved through guided instruction, which they define as saying or doing the just-right thing to get the learner to do "cognitive work" in other words, gradually and successfully transferring knowledge and the responsibility for learning to students through scaffolds for learning.
