Learning from Errors: Effects of Teachers Training on Students' Attitudes towards and Their Individual Use of Errors
Rach, Stefanie; Ufer, Stefan; Heinze, Aiso
PNA, v8 n1 p21-30 2013
Constructive error handling is considered an important factor for individual learning processes. In a quasi-experimental study with Grades 6 to 9 students, we investigate effects on students' attitudes towards errors as learning opportunities in two conditions: an error-tolerant classroom culture, and the first condition along with additional teaching of strategies for analyzing errors. Our findings show positive effects of the error-tolerant classroom culture on the affective level, whereas students are not influenced by the cognitive support. There is no evidence for differential effects for student groups with different attitudes towards errors.
