Hi all,

In my current eLearning research at Oxford University, exploring how high ability children learn in collaboration with each other, I have become fascinated by the concept of 'intellectual confidence'. This little video blog takes a look at this phenomenon and discusses why it's so important for our children ...

I think that educational self confidence comes from meeting someone on their own level and teaching them how to use all the common tools available, right? �I think they call it "teaching in the zone of proximal development" which honors any students intelligence and increases their capabilities. �Is there a better path to better self-confidence? �If you don't understand well then you just need someone who is patient who has already learned that skill to pull out their box of crayolas and show you so can understand it. �What else should or can I be doing for my kids right now besides being enthusiastic myself and telling them that trial and error has error in it, but that's how you get results; am I already doing the right thing? �They said it was a university research project to be used for the betterment of schools. �Is there any advice from the findings that I should use at home? �Overall I feel like maybe it's related to Carol Dweck's self theories which basically says you can improve, and outlines a number of problems with believing your intelligence is fixed, universally, across the board because that belief makes most people at any LOG afraid to learn. �So is that your research,?, how to reach people and say, look! �You're hindering yourself unless you learn how flexible and teachable you really are.

How do you do that?
