| Annotation: | The rapid digitalization of education is leading to significant changes in traditional pedagogical approaches, which now need to adapt to new technological and communicative realities. There is a growing need for pedagogically meaningful, non-formalized support for learners using information and communication technologies. One promising form of such support is digital scaffolding. The article examines modern strategies of digital scaffolding in an educational context. The goal of the research is to systematize and pedagogically justify the effectiveness of these strategies and identify prospects for their development. The study hypothesizes that optimal effectiveness of digital scaffolding is achieved through the integration of artificial intelligence capabilities, pedagogical support, and the development of students’ metacognitive self-regulation. The research methodology is based on a review and comparative analysis of publications from 2021 to 2026 in the Scopus, eLibrary, and CyberLeninka databases. The study classifies four types of support (instructional, metacognitive, affective, and social) and substantiates criteria for their pedagogical appropriateness. It also formulates parameters for assessing the quality of digital scaffolding, practical recommendations, and directions for further research. The results can be useful for methodologists, teachers, and researchers in the field of digital didactics and pedagogical design. The limitations of the work are related to the lack of longitudinal empirical data. Promising areas of research include developing ethical and regulatory frameworks for AI analytics in educational environments, comparing the effectiveness of digital support models in different ethnic and national groups, and studying the impact of digital scaffolding on the development of creativity, tolerance to uncertainty, and learning independence among students. | ||
