Add to ORKGFailure is a crucial component of science, however amongst undergraduate students, failure is often viewed in a negative light. How can we encourage our students to see the value of failure, and learn how to fail well? To answer this question, we began with a meta-analysis of productive failure in the literature, resulting in a scaffold of approaches for both teaching and assessing productive failure in different disciplines. Jumping off from what we learned from this meta-analysis, we have initiated a “re-framing” of a large introductory biology course to focus on teaching students about the value of failure in both science and everyday life, to model failure to the students, and to engage the students in “productive failure” through exper...
