Why Mistakes Matter in Creating A Path For Learning
We humans tend to make mistakes. It is what makes us human after all. We learn from our mistake - famous Italian Proverb
Changing the way we see errors and the time it takes to learn can help us produce better learning outcomes. It allows students to engage independently in the learning process.
Mistakes are the basis of application. They allow for experimentation. The goal of education, after all, is to have students solve problems independently.
Allows Experimentation
Taking time to engage in mistakes actually allows students to move to a deeper level of understanding.
Deeper Understanding
Every person will learn differently and perhaps focus on different parts of a topic. If we see learning this way, allowing mistakes seems more logical.
