Mining for student mistakes (& misconceptions) isn't just good for learning.

Done well, it can also strengthen classroom culture. Here's how:

↓ Image
One of the most powerful ways we can flip failure is by constantly being on the lookout for when students make mistakes or misconceptions...

and then taking the opportunity to highlight them, analyse them, and ensure that everyone (not just the mistake maker) learns from them.
If one person makes a mistake, then it's quite possible that someone else could make that mistake in the future...

and so exposing it and ensuring that everyone is aware of it increases the likelihood that fewer folks make it in the future.

The anticipation of success (aka 'expectancy') is vital for student motivation.

BUT it's easier to destroy than develop.

3 ways to flip failure:

↓ Image
Success is a powerful force in school.

However, despite our efforts, students will sometimes fail.

It is an inevitable part of school, and an important aspect of life.
And so, not only do we want to be deliberate in our efforts to secure success, where possible, we should also try to 'get ahead' of failure.

To make it work for our students, not against them.

Great teaching is not enough—we also need to *frame* success for our students.

6 strategies that can help:

↓ Image
Success is a powerful motivating force in school.

It's primarily the product of great teaching. However, great teaching—by itself—is not enough...

because success is highly subjective.
Our views of success are shaped by many factors, not all of which are shared.

Two students could have identical learning experiences and yet walk away with very different perceptions of how it went.

10 of the best teaching-related research papers from the first 10 weeks of 2024

(all open source 🔓)

↓
1/ Article on the limits of applying general cognitive science principles to specific school contexts

→ also serves as a helpful overview of the evidence around the value of several core #cogsci principles

2/ Meta-analysis of the evidence base around effective teacher development

Success is one of the most powerful drivers of motivation in school.

Why is this and how can we secure it?

↓ Image
First up, it’s useful to understand that our brain uses unconscious ‘rules of thumb’ (aka heuristics) to make decisions about where to invest our attention and effort.

One of the main rules it uses is our anticipation of future success.

This is called 'expectancy'.
It makes sense that we have a gauge like this, right?

With such limited attention to allocate, it would be crazy to invest heavily in directions that are unlikely to bear fruit.

Feedback can enhance learning. But it can also inhibit it.

Here's what we know:

↓ Image
Feedback is simply any process where students get information on their thinking or performance.

However, not all kinds of feedback lead to improved learning—some can even be detrimental.
In general, we can increase the chances that feedback is effective by ensuring it is:

1. Objective
2. Constructive
3. Manageable

Let's look briefly at each...
