Struggle Means Learning
This interesting article explores the perception of struggle in learning across cultures. How do we use struggle in our classrooms? Does it cripple? Does it motivate? “The teacher was trying to teach the class how to draw three-dimensional cubes on paper,” Stigler explains, “and one kid was just totally having trouble with it. His cube looked all cockeyed, so the teacher said to him, ‘Why don’t you go put yours on the board?’ So right there I thought, ‘That’s interesting! He took the one who can’t do it and told him to go and put it on the board.’”
