    Researchers are looking into how well "stealth assessments" embedded in video games could help measure less tangible qualities like creativity and persistence.

    I played the maths challenge Dragonbox, and was just going to spend a few minutes on this game but I found it fun to keep going and work out how to continue with the problems when I got stuck, until I understood the concept that the challenge was teaching. In a way I was trying to be creative in solving these problems along the way and was learning as well. This idea could be carried on outside the came creating my own idea of Algebra using everyday items. I think that when learning is taking place creativity and innovation are not far behind.

  • The ideas presented feel like they make sense at the time. But if the ideas do not challenge us in a fundamental way, they might not be being processed deeply enough to lead to any lasting learning.
  • Such environments may lead us into having a false level of confidence in our understanding of complex concepts. Glossy, high production value resources have been shown to give people an inflated sense of understanding.
  • So a key way to harness confusion when you are challenged with new concepts or ideas, is to recognise that confusion exists. Be comfortable with this, but seek to resolve it

  • But our own research and that of others suggests that confusion, rather than being a negative, can actually be a productive aspect of the learning process.
  • The key is to ensure that when confusion occurs, it is recognised and it is not allowed to persist for too long

    Why there needs to be a bit of confusion in learning.
