Making the failure more productive: scaffolding the invention process to improve inquiry behaviors and outcomes in invention activities
Invention activities are Productive Failure activities in which students attempt (and often fail) to invent methods that capture deep properties of a construct before being taught expert solutions. The current study evaluates the effect of scaffolding on the invention processes and outcomes, given that students are not expected to succeed in their inquiry and that all students receive subsequen...
متن کاملProductive Failure in Learning Math
When learning a new math concept, should learners be first taught the concept and its associated procedures and then solve problems, or solve problems first even if it leads to failure and then be taught the concept and the procedures? Two randomized-controlled studies found that both methods lead to high levels of procedural knowledge. However, students who engaged in problem solving before be...
متن کاملProductive Failure
Contrary to the fairly established notion in the learning sciences that un-scaffolded processes rarely lead to meaningful learning, this study reports a hidden efficacy of such processes and a method for extracting it. Compared to scaffolded, well-structured problem-solving groups, un-scaffolded, ill-structured problem-solving groups struggled with defining and solving the problems. Their discu...
متن کاملProductive Failure in Learning the Concept of Variance
In a study with 140, ninth-grade mathematics students on learning the concept of variance, students experienced either direct instruction (DI) or productive failure (PF), wherein they were first asked to generate a quantitative index for variance without any guidance before receiving direct instruction on the concept. Whereas DI students relied only on the canonical formulation of variance taug...
متن کاملCausally productive activities
This paper suggests and discusses an answer to the following question: What distinguishes causal from non-causal or coincidental cooccurrences? The answer derives from Elizabeth Anscombe’s idea that causality is a highly abstract concept whose meaning derives from our understanding of specific causally productive activities (e.g., pulling, scraping, burning), and from her rejection of the assum...
