| quantification |
This relates to the quality or quantity of assistance that is offered to the learner. Quantification relates to assessment or evaluation of how much assistance to remove to ensure fading of scaffolding. This is a complex activity that requires access to a wide range of information about learner's access to, use of and interactions with available resources. This evaluation learner and resource (which includes any MAPs) defines the way in which tasks are shared or the scope of collaboration in shared activity. |

| resource |
A resource is anything that is available to the learner to support a learning need. It may be a person, a thing, an interaction, an environment, a concept, etc. the learner's individual lived experience (social, historical and cultural) is also a resource as are cognitive, metacognitive and epistemic elements of the learner's experience. Resources can also be framed by a particular environment, e.g. a software environment, a pedagogic environment, or even the home environment. |
| resource element |
A particular resource within the learner's context; as a specific descriptor contrasted to the resource filter, there are three Resource Elements in the EoR Model, namely: Knowledge and Skills, Tools & People, Environment. |
| resource filter |
The resource filter is a property of the EoR Model which serves to organise the resource elements. The resource filters within the EoR Model are referred to or categorised as Filter Elements. |

S
| scaffolding |
The term 'scaffolding' is derived from the work of David Wood (Wood et al, 1976) and relates to the notion of tutorial assistance, assistance that goes beyond simple hints or graded help. Scaffolding relates to the notion of being able to identify the nature of assistance that can be made available to the learner based on careful analysis of the domain within which learning is taking place. In the EoR framework, scaffolding is linked to the relationship between learner and MAP. |
| situation definition |
This term, coined by Wertsch (1984) describes how a context is actively constructed and represented by those who are operating within it. |
| shared situation definition |
This is a process of intersubjectivity. It exists where both learner and MAP share the same situation definition and know that they share it. |

|
T
| tool |
Tools may be physical (externally directed) or psychological (internally directed). Tools mediate activity. Mediated activity may promoted individual or shared understandings. |
| typology relationship |
This kind of relationship describes a situation where one element is a type of another, e.g. a child's bedtime is a type of home 'rule' |

Rose, Josh. Can either of you help with the recognition-production gap. I'm not sure what this means and I can't find it in the book. Also... please check my interpretations of scaffolding, situation definition and shared situation definition. I'm not entirely happy with typology relationship either and feel it could do with expansion but I'm not sure exactly how to explain it. It's just at present, it doesn't feel entirely 'there' for me.

Recognition production gap as in I recognise this word when I see it and understand it but can't produce in free speech/writing? Except more general than my example. This also to do with declarative and procedural knowledge?
Situation definition - personal partial -my understanding of the context? Shared situation definition - intersubjectivity? My situation and your situation definition have sufficient points of intersection for intersubjectivity. shared situation definition usually involves changing both our situation definition - education about moving people towards culturally valued situation definitions?
Although I think I understand the typology relationships described in the book I don't really get the motivation for worrying about these at the moment - so I'd like to discuss this too.

Also, perhaps we need entries for 'quality of assistance' and 'quantity of assistance' to help clarify the explanation of quantification?
