The podcast deals with the question of how a positive error culture in the classroom can reduce the alienation of pupils from school.

Dr Alyssa Grecu from the IFS and Dr Gabriele Steuer from Bielefeld University were guests on Lucinda Powell's podcast "Psychology in the Classroom". In the podcast episode "Errors and Alienation", current research findings on an exciting and important topic are presented: How does dealing with errors in the classroom affect teacher alienation in primary schools?

The researchers explain how a negative error climate in the classroom can lead to students developing a fear of failure and feeling alienated from their teachers. Conversely, positive and supportive teacher-student relationships can reduce school alienation. Dr. Grecu and Dr. Steuer discuss practical approaches to create a supportive learning environment where students feel safe and motivated to learn from their mistakes.
