Jee and Anggoro (2019) explain relational scaffolding in the following quote.
"Relational scaffolding involves guiding a student through comparisons between observable phenomena and corresponding modeled events (e.g., comparisons between observations of sunrise, midday, and sunset, and models of a space-based perspective of the Earth-sun system)."
The key element in relational scaffolding appears to be the guided comparison component based on the two studies by Jee and Anggoro (2019).
