When I was a faculty member with the School Management Program at UCLA, I facilitated a number of conversations and inservices on the topic of incorrect answers and misunderstandings. It was based on the idea that regardless of how smart we are, our meaning making is often misdirected, causing us to draw the wrong conclusions. This is influenced by our pre-existing mental model of the world around us. Our interpretation of certain concepts leads us to the incorrect or incomplete answers.
A video we used that sits inside the work of Annenberg Learner, proved a valuable resource. It provided examples and discussion points that made the concept clear. The video described high performing students answering a basic science question - you’ll be surprised by their responses. In a recent article, The Importance Of Getting Things Wrong, Anya Kamenetz wrote on this interesting topic.
