Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of scaffolding and task complexity on cognitive load in startup using an experimental design. A total of 60 startup in Yogyakarta were randomly divided into four groups: high scaffolding with complex tasks, high scaffolding with simple tasks, low scaffolding with complex tasks, and low scaffolding with simple tasks. Cognitive load was measured through a validated questionnaire. The results of the variance analysis showed that scaffolding significantly reduces cognitive load, while task complexity significantly increases cognitive load. Additionally, there is a significant interaction between scaffolding and task complexity, where scaffolding is more effective in reducing cognitive load for complex tasks. These findings support cognitive load theory and emphasize the importance of scaffolding support in the startup work environment, especially for complex tasks. This study suggests the implementation of scaffolding strategies in startup training to manage cognitive load, as well as further research with a more diverse population and longitudinal design.
