Learning to fail

In many classrooms, mistakes are something to be 0ashamed of. Pupils who get an answer wrong may feel embarrassed, and many would rather say nothing at all than 1 looking foolish in front of their classmates.

A growing number of educators, however, argue that this attitude does more 2 than good. They point out that making mistakes is part and 3 of learning: it is only by getting things wrong that we discover the limits of what we know.

Some teachers now go so far 4 to celebrate errors, inviting pupils to share their mistakes with the class so that everyone can learn from them. Brain research appears to 5 up this approach: we seem to learn more when we are confronted with an error and have to work out where we went wrong.

The aim, of course, is not to encourage carelessness. The point is to create a classroom where pupils feel safe enough to 6 a go, even when they are unsure of the answer. Learning to 7 with failure, after all, is a skill that will 8 them in good stead long after they have left school.
