A different way to approach mistakes is to embrace them. By coming to terms with the fact that mistakes are part of the learning process, you can see them as opportunities. This mindset has been shown to support learning. Get in this frame of mind and learn from your mistakes. Teachers with this mindset provide learning tasks where students have some basic guidelines to follow rather than step-by-step instructions. Students with this mindset tend to engage in active learning methods and study skills. The idea that mistakes are okay frees you to actively explore a topic or task. When you do make a mistake, reminding yourself that mistakes are a natural part of learning can help prevent negative emotions from creeping in. You can focus on the mistake as information about what you know, and what you need to learn more about. Embracing mistakes has benefits besides helping to control negative emotions. Mistakes require the generation of a solution. This prompts the investigation of different aspects of the task or topic to find a solution. In this way, you may learn things that you wouldn’t have if you were merely following rigid instructions. In the end, you will have a better overall understanding of a task or topic. You will be more likely to adapt your knowledge and get a correct answer if you are asked a related but different question on a test. (Adapted from https://www.globalcognition.org/) 31.
