Scaffolding, or personalized support, is crucial in learning progress as it help students progress through challenges without frustration. However, scaffolding is often insufficient or poorly implemented in game-based learning environments. This project aims to identify and classify the types of scaffolding available in game-based learning environments and evaluate their effectiveness. By reviewing scaffolding theories and conducting a meta-analysis, we will provide insights into how different types of scaffolding can enhance adaptive learning. The findings will guide the design of more effective educational games, ensuring that students receive the right support at the right time, leading to improved learning outcomes and reduced frustration.
