Thanks for the resources in this posting. I particularly liked the ‘learning from your mistakes’ aspect. But in an age of ‘getting it right’ how do we give students the confidence and belief to experiment and make lots of mistakes? Surely this provides the experience to make sound judgments in the future?
I think I might ask my final years to share their mistakes and learning from it regularly to open this up. I guess it’s only fair I kick it off though…
I thought you may like Illeris (Ed) (2009) Contemporary Theories of Learning – my favourite chapter is Chapter 16 on Transitional Learning.
