Scaffolding and strategic integration

I realize that scaffolding is a temporary device that is used to learn new information and strategic integration is developing learned stuff that can be applied. Does strategic integration replace scaffolding in the learnng process as the learner becomes more independent?

Linda,
Yes, it does because as scaffolding of content is done the students get familiar with the information and how it can be used. So they are going from theory to application which is where strategic integration comes in. This information and the process is stored in their working memories and is ready for use when the occasion demands it.
