Mastering systematic process models is an essential methodological skill in many scientific disciplines. Inexperienced students often have problems applying them independently. For this purpose, we are developing a support approach in the IPPOLIS research project that combines the ideas of scaffolding, in the sense of a support framework, with adaptive feedback. This approach was practically tested and evaluated in an initial field study as part of a software engineering event for the systematic modeling of diagrams in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This provided us with valuable insights into how helpful the scaffolding feedback is perceived to be. Extensions in the areas of feedback design and action analysis using artificial intelligence (AI) methods are outlined for further studies.
