The study is titled cognitive apprenticeship and the development of productive learning skills among emerging adults engaged in mechanic work in the informal sector in Buea Municipality. Indicators of the study include, coaching, scaffolding, and executive functioning. To find out the extent to which scaffolding impact productive learning skills among out-of-school emerging adults engaged in mechanic work in the informal sector in Buea Municipality. Methodologically, the study design used was quasi-experimental research design. The accessible population of the study was made up of 12 apprentice between the ages 18 to 25 in mechanic garages, and 4 trainers. There were two workshops, 6 apprentices in each workshop. The study took place in Buea in Cameroon in two mechanic garages. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaire, observational checklist and interview guide. The sampling technique was purposive sampling technique. Quantitative data was entered using EpiData Version 3.1 (EpiData Association, Odense Denmark, 2008) and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Standard version, Release 21.0 (IBM Inc. 2012). Data collected from the field were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics. For the descriptive data, frequency distribution tables and charts were used to present and describe the data obtained. Cohen’s d was used to compare assert significant difference of the inferential statistics. For scaffolding at pretest in the experimental group the mean was 9.0 and it rose to 10.4 at posttest. It was recommended that scaffolding should constantly be applied in mechanic garages by the trainers so that apprentice can gain knowledge, aptitudes, skills, competencies and become productive especially at the zone of proximal development where mediation is needed in the form of assistance, self-correction, cues, hints, feedback, directives, demonstration just to name a few.
