Answer:

The teacher is working as temporary support.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Vygotsky, the teacher is working as a scaffolding. The person helps their students to learn how to tie their shoelaces. At this age, the students can perform the activity, but they need a guide that can show them how to do it, and that can encourage them while they are learning. Once that they have learned how to tie shoelaces, the students do not need the support of the adult anymore, that is why it is temporary support. In other words, a scaffolding that helps with the construction of the ability.
