“POT-HOLES” & Learning Have you ever been travelling along what seems like a perfectly smooth road and suddenly “Wham!” you strike a pot-hole? It knocks your confidence and because you’re on the look out for the next one – you don’t enjoy the journey. You’re anxious, defensive and reactionary. Learning can be a bit like that! Everything might seem to be going relatively smoothly and then suddenly the student encounters something which really stumps them. Like the pot-hole incident – it knocks confidence and the guard goes up making taking in new learning more difficult because they are afraid of the feelings associated with failure. So they don’t want to try – risk taking is just too risky!! NumberWorks’nWords can help “fill in the pot-holes” and even learning out so that the foundation is stronger to take new learning on board.
