According to Chandler, \u201cWith the freedom to fail, they were also free to seek out learning experiences instead of falling back on what they already knew.\u201d And then \u201cThe best possible outcome happened: one of my high achievers failed miserably with one of her tasks.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cShe had researched animators, found the one she wanted to interview, and tried contacting him a few ways, to no avail. And then, she did the most amazing thing: she learned from it and shared it with us in her presentation.\u201d<\/p><p>That is how productive failure looks!<\/p><p>In a learning environment that allows students the freedom to make mistakes, problems are designed in a way to challenge students to reach beyond their grasp, encouraging them to stretch their knowledge and try new strategies.\u00a0<\/p><p>That is how deep learning takes place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0638d78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0638d78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kingsley.edu.my\/kis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Article-6-Image-1-scaled-1-1536x691.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-1536x1536 size-1536x1536 wp-image-11536\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kingsley.edu.my\/kis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Article-6-Image-1-scaled-1-1536x691.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kingsley.edu.my\/kis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Article-6-Image-1-scaled-1-2048x922.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kingsley.edu.my\/kis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Article-6-Image-1-scaled-1-600x270.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c54da06 gb-post-lnk elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c54da06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>But does that mean failure alone is instructive?<\/b><\/p><p>According to learning scientist Manu Kapur,\u00a0<i>\u201cFailure helps in building awareness and learning affect\u2014the desire to learn\u2014but in and of itself, it cannot get you to assemble knowledge\u2026 A teacher or expert is needed at that point to explain the problem and solution.\u201d<\/i><\/p><p>Hence, it is important to design learning experiences that encourage students to embrace failure as a part of achieving their goals.\u00a0<\/p><p><b>How does Maple Leaf Kingsley International School create a positive learning environment?<\/b><\/p><p>We are living in a world which places high emphasis on grades, achievements and results.
