LEARNING FROM MISTAKES: WHY LEARNERS SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES.

Abstract

This article analyzes the attitude toward mistakes in the educational process from psychological and pedagogical perspectives. In traditional lessons, mistakes are generally evaluated negatively. The main goal of the study is to change students' views on mistakes and to reduce the feeling of fear of making mistakes. Especially the fear of failing to answer before the board, low grades, or the ridicule of peers, encourages students to copy ready-made templates rather than work and avoid taking risks. However, research shows that in the modern education system, error is not an indicator of ignorance, but rather a factor serving growth. The purpose of this article is to scientifically and practically refute the negative view of error and to analyze the advantages of learning through mistakes in the educational process.
