The role of productive failure in 3D printing in a middle school setting

The effect of productive failure in a digital inquiry environment on developing deep understanding and achievement of organic chemistry among secondary school students

“…The results also illustrated the high level of the experimental group, studied by PF, and that improvement is particularly significant among low-performing students. Dickson et al (2020) also used PF in a 3D printer training programme as one of the fundamental instruments in the Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education programme for middle school students. In this study, students and the teacher had no prior knowledge on this topic that led to many failures, and thus such failure was not designed into the lesson plans, but rather a product of new technology and the inexperience of teacher and students.…”

“…The PF environment can be designed using computer-aided cooperative learning groups by letting learners struggle with failure in poorly constructed and unorganised tasks that reflect a fruitful exercise towards PF (Kapur, 2010). The incorporation of new technologies may provide sufficient incentive for students to participate in learning without feeling frustrated even with the use of PF activities (Dickson et al, 2020). In this regard, Song's (2018) study asserted the improvement of the cooperative problemsolving competence among elementary school students in project-based learning using PF.…”

“…Incorporating new technologies provides sufficient incentive for students to practice learning without feeling frustrated, even while utilising PF activities (Dickson et al, 2020). Hence, the digital learning environment can be designed using PF to practice the inquiry process effectively (Kennedy-Clark, 2009).…”

“…Hence, the digital learning environment can be designed using PF to practice the inquiry process effectively (Kennedy-Clark, 2009). The literature supports the effectiveness of using cognitive failure in the e-learning environment (Dickson et al, 2020;Kennedy-Clark, 2009;Kapur, 2010;Song, 2018). Studies also focus on the efficient impact of using PF with inquiry learning and provide procedures for combining them (Brand et al, 2019;Arrington & Xu,Arrington & Xu, 2019;Kapur & Bielaczyc, 2012;Toh & Kapur, 2017).…”

“…Las impresoras 3D aplicadas a la educación matemática constituyen un recurso que permite plantear actividades que implican aprendizaje por indagación o aprendizaje basado en la resolución de problemas (Wang et al, 2019) donde los estudiantes, en el rol de creadores, son capaces de, por ellos mismos, generar ideas innovadoras y producir objetos concretos empleando las TIC (Ng, 2017;Ng y Chan, 2019), además de producir cambios positivos sobre sus concepciones acerca del error en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje (Dickson et al, 2020).…”
