This student is in the middle of the creative process. It is amazing to see the process from idea to the finish product. But I think it is hard to know when I am supposed to stop the student from doing mistakes and when I have to let the students do their own mistakes and lerning that way.
Yes Malin! Learning from mistakes is sometimes a very tiresome process. I know many teachers in VET work with the method question-based (also called inquiry-based) learning. What are your experiences from that? Maybe Linda and Stephan have some views on this too

Here is a link to one of many sites showing this kind of teaching method.
Kind regards from Ingrid
I agree Ingrid - it is a tricky issue as you are torn between offering advice (and saving materials and time) and letting them learn by discover and mistakes.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind do other floristry teachers use?
I think that the teachers I have seen often let the students do mistakes. My problem is that I want the students to do a perfekt work. But I realize that the most important thing is that the student learn and hopefully do better next time.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree on the problem of not helping too much... It's so easy to interfere a little to help out, meaning the result probably will be better, but the learning experience will be less...
