Confidence and Independence: Six Dimensions of Learning

Learning is more than just knowing stuff! In this video, we learn from our kiwi bird friends that in order to learn and use the stuff we know, we need to have appropriate levels of confidence and independence. Lacking confidence slows a learner down, while too much confidence can be dangerous. Students need to accurately gauge their level of independence with confidence which will help them know when to ask for help. “Knowing what you don’t know” actually drives more learning!
