Re: grading vs. control of error

[demingtw <demingtw@ms17.hinet.net>]

Thanks Mark Delaney Wrote us some Montessori 'approaches' and his learning of
applications of 'control of errors'. I like to give some different viewpoints.

Let alone many controversy about  different approaches( constructism and
others), for example, in the better ways of 'interactions' of errors and whether
'errors' can be the major sources of learning and so on. It is not very clear
for me the meaning of 'control' in his context. Perhaps the statisticians and
teachers are more keen on 'errors'. This is the reason that some educators
suggest that the more errors made, the better, if the students really learnt
something.

But Mark reminds us the interesting history of 'fool-proof' technology. Thanks
Mark again.
