At TRR 318, scaffolding is recognized as a crucial aspect of explaining. It involves supporting learners, whether they are children acquiring their first words or robots interacting with caregivers. In the fifth episode of the podcast "Explaining Explainability," Prof. Britta Wrede engages with experts Dr. Angela Grimminger from Paderborn University and Prof. Dr. Anna-Lisa Vollmer from Bielefeld University. They explore how scaffolding functions in various contexts, such as explanatory situations, and its role in their TRR 318 projects.
