Abstract: In this study, the internet and the constructivist scaffolding teaching theory are applied to develop an instructional model for use in the research methods curriculum of first year graduate studies. In addition to alleviating conflicts teachers face regarding division of their time, energy and capability, scaffolding teaching also takes advantage of traditional aspects of teaching – namely face-to-face communication and interaction – while making up for deficiencies in internet teaching. To realise the effects of this instructional model, analysis of the differences in learning results between the constructive scaffolding teaching model with internet assistance (CSTMIA) and the traditional teaching model (TTM) and experimentation have been adopted for use in this study.
