Adult educator to take on integrated role of trainer, assessor and designer in error-based learning.
Define the context of learning by exploring how boundaries shift, upgrade skills to stay relevant, and learn from mistakes through error design in new situations.
Evaluate an assessor's postponement in an error-based learning assessment and its impact on fairness. Emphasize that once started the assessment must be completed and special needs should be checked beforehand.
Apply the delete approach to error-based learning to foster contextual cognition by revealing the solution first, then reverse engineering the error, using Bloom's taxonomy and a structured debriefing process.
Explore how deliberately designed errors drive learning by making boundaries explicit, fostering competencies and meta-competencies through contextual cognition, practice, and mental preparation for real-world work changes.
Using an error-based learning approach to drive upskilling especially from competent to expertise levels will be a critical consideration in the light of economic transformation. The workforce needs to embrace higher order skillsets commonly associated with expertise (e.g. innovation, influence, pre-empting issues, planning and strategising). To develop expertise through years of trial and error is not tenable. Our younger generation needs to be bumped up quickly to expertise levels. Hence, designing errors intentionally into learning approaches will be critical so that a certain level of metacognition and innovation can be developed at an early stage.
