ET-Inquiry and Problem-based Learning
IL-Critical Thinking
What if you showed kids failure because life has failure? They learn from it.
John Hunter has shown his students how to learn from failure through his teaching method: playing a game called "The World Peace Game". Take a look at this short clip below to get the idea.
John's students are typically 4th graders and use resources like "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu to help learn how to create peace through war and chaos. This game is able to explore creative thinking, empathy, compassion, sacrifice, critical thinking and collaboration. John gives the students the floor to make things happen and serves as a guide and supporter, or as he says "clock watcher". Pretty amazing. Take a look at the great TED video to find out more and check out his book for even more inspiration!
