ABSTRACT
Our overall quantitative findings appear in Chapter 4. We discuss the opening, teaching, and closing stages of our 10 conferences and provide quantitative data about topic episodes as they occur in the teaching stage. We also overview frequencies of occurrence for our three categories of tutoring strategies—instruction, cognitive scaffolding, and motivational scaffolding. Our findings showed that tutors most often used instruction, with cognitive scaffolding strategies as the second most frequent.
