Mistakes are common in education and sometimes are even encouraged as part of the learning process. Understanding how to correct errors is crucial, as uncorrected errors have the potential to be problematic. Uncorrected errors have consequences beyond believing a single falsehood is true; conceptual misunderstandings can interfere with new learning of other related information. This chapter begins with the importance of error correction. Following this it discusses methods for studying error correction. Feedback is typically considered to be one of the most powerful tools in the teacher's toolbox, yielding a large effect size. The chapter emphasizes the many different forms feedback can take, from simply indicating whether an answer is correct or incorrect to an entire learning module. Vague advice to educators can be harmful rather than helpful if principles are implemented in a way that changes the processing involved. However, the authors encourage teachers to keep in mind the benefits of delaying feedback and the resurgence of errors over time. Feedback could take the form of a multiple-choice quiz, a student presentation, or an in-class review game—it does not have to take the form of responses to a test or other graded assignment.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
