Ch. 5


Jacque related mastery is a pain, as letting students know it is okay to be wrong.  That is true; some students want to show that they are better at everything.  I had a classmate that would always say he had the right answer until one time the teacher told him that people make mistakes and that it is okay.  Not a single person is perfect at doing everything they do.  The three laws of mastery are great to be related to education.  One that I relate the most is mastery is a mindset.  As mention in the book there are two different paths; performance goals and learning goals.  The example given is a good example related to education.  Some students always want to get that A in class, but others don’t care.  It all depends on their motivation.  We as teacher should let students know that grades are important, but the most important thing is to learn the material presented to them.  Why? Because for example, if a student does not learn how to solve simple equations he/she will have difficulty solving higher level equations.
