To be honest, I think that learning from mistakes is the best way to teach and I often use that theory but it’s also the most ‘expensive’ one. I’ve found an interesting way to learn from mistakes that other people make. I just observe them and their mistakes and then I make my own conclusions. It’s ‘cheap’ but also very good.
Learning from mistakes is good but learning form successes is even better - instead of making students fail let's help them progress in their skills in such a way that they feel comfortable to test out small improvements in their knowledge structures.
I love learning by doing projects - that way I am able to see the practical value of things I learn and it's extremely motivating.
Learning from mistakes is a crucial part for us to understand while we are students because if we don't do this it will be harder for us to get used to failures and be more productive in our lives later. Mistakes make us review our actions, thus forcing us to make some corrections or change the whole approach to the problem. Unfortunately, no teacher can teach you this. You can only learn this in process of self-teaching. And I agree with saying "You are your best teacher" because you won't find any person who knows you better than yourself.
I've recently have tried lots of different ways to learn. Some of them were effective and some were not. I personally prefer 'hands-on' approach - learning by doing. But sometimes I combine multiple technics depending on the subject I'm trying to learn.
Learning from mistakes is a good way to learn, however, a painful one. Sometimes the mistakes you make cost you more than the learning and knowledge you get. If you have to lose your wife or husband to understand that you could have been a better partner, than is it really worth it?
My best way to learn is through visual diagrams. I like to have everything neatly put down on paper and divided into schemes. Maybe I am a visual learner - I don't know - it all gets much quicker to my head then.
Absolutely. It's nice if someone shows us this should be done correctly. But of course, unless we make a mistake, we simply will not learn. We shouldn't be afraid of mistakes.
I don't have my way to learn. I try many ways. There are many ways to learn the Internet and often try new things. I often learn to try to spread the material for a few days and learn a different thing every day
For me learning from mistakes is still the best way of learning. It allows me to make an attempt on my own to solve the problem, to understand all the difficulties, try to invent a creative solution and so forth. But the most important is that in the end I will get the solution and will be able to analyze it and improve myself. That’s the real purpose of studying.
I can’t say I have my own unique way to learn. I would rather say that my way to learn is combination or permutation of some most famous ways to learn especially learning from other’s mistakes.
I consider it as a fact and everyone learns from mistakes even if the person is not willing to accept that.
My way to learn is to start learning by doing, then I supply myself with some amount of research and theoretical knowledge and finally I try to reach higher levels of abstraction in what I'm doing. Time given to practice and learning is a very important factor.
I think, that this theory is quite effective, but my grandma told me even more interesting theory. She taught me to learn on other's mistakes, and that helps even more)
I think that the method of learning from mistakes is the best one and that it is applied by itself. Only training can help you become better. After the mistakes we can learn what not to do next time and what we can do better.
Yes, I think that learning from mistakes is very good way. Even if you will do something wrong, you can do it again with awareness of wrong decision.
I have never thought about my best way to learn. Maybe practice? I can spend a lot of time to learn something and I hate to stop without success.
I think that with time we all figure out our best way to learn things but the real problem for teachers still is how to properly test that knowledge.
Can't say I have some specific ways of learning. I always try to understand why something is the way it is rather then memorize a lot of encyclopedia knowledge.
In my opinion projects are also great form of learning. It's not so sad like mistakes :)
What's more it's very interesting to try combine various technics of learning. Maybe i will try it also.
2. In my opinion it is always a good thing to take advantage of advices from more experienced people and try to learn on others’ mistakes. This can save us a lot of troubles and let us be more effective by avoiding certain mistakes. However, the most valuable knowledge always comes from our own experiences. When we are trying new things by ourselves, as soon as we see outcomes of our actions we can assess if it was a correct way to solve certain problem.
3. My approach to learning new things is quite traditional as I like to have solid theoretical understanding of a particular area combined with applying theory to practice in an incremental fashion. It means that I always start with possessing some theoretical knowledge and as soon as I have enough information, I try to build some simple, working solution. Then, I repeat the whole process, so I get more knowledge and try to improve my solution accordingly.
If it comes about learning by mistakes, it's good point of view. It depends about what situation we are talking about.

2. No, I did not have such teachers in school, always gave clean information and required her to retell (most often even did not need to understand).
3. My way of studying is to show interest, to look for sources of information, to communicate with people more conscious, to analyze and act. I'm not obsessed with mistakes and failures, they make me more literate.
As a tip, I can tell You, that having a good friend, that know You almost as good as You know yourself is a game changer - listen to them and You'll be surprise how much value they can give You
Yes, I think that learning from mistakes is very valuable lesson but it could be dangerous sometimes. Sometimes mistakes could led to injury or psychological problem so I would be careful about this way of learning.
Yes at first I create a cheatsheet of topics I should learn for the test. Then I am trying to remember all essential subjects after that I am repeating things I've learnt.
Never had, but I do not regret it. Ms Laufenberg would surely show you some german learning process. Don't judge me by that. My grandfather once get a pretty good electric kettle from
East Germany and when he was told that its german he throw it out the window (or you could say he commited act of
defenestration)
What do you think about the theory of learning from mistakes?
I think that germans are making use of it: They lost two wars, and finally they still managed to conquer Europe.
Do you have your own way to learn?
Yes, Confucius once said:
"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."
Quit talking, start making it.
Yes, it was the best teacher in my life. It was a strong and open-minded teacher of maths in my college. Thanks god she gave me and my friends a huge motivation to move forward.
I think that there is a theory of learning from mistakes but not in a way the video told us. You must understand what you need to change to prevent mistakes from the past and thats it. I have my own way to learn but i don't want to share it with you :)
Most of the time life is the best teacher u can get. There is nothing more teaching than a failure or a loss. Once we make mistake that has costed us something ex: time, money, relationship, we add that experience like scar to our skin and wear it with pride being taught a lesson of life. Sometimes letting students/ other people fail first is not the best idea it all depends on ones strength of the will and character.
Yes i do my way to learn is : Finding someone passionate about the topic and talk to them, listen to their stories, listen about the topic read about them and what they have to say. There is nothing better for me than a passionate teacher and u can make a lot of friends along the way that can help you out.
2. I think that is is the best way of learning because we learn much more faster when we learn by experiences than only from pure theory.
3. I usually learn with headphones and classic music which isolates me from whole world and nothing and nobody can disrupt my time for learning.
It's good. You know what you did wrong, and you are trying to not repeat that mistakes. I like it.
I do not have any special ways to learn. I'm doing it like everyone does.
