This contribution to mistake
culture depicts how a primarily normative approach on dealing
with mistakes in school has been processed to a concept that
can be measured, and how this process in turn has had an effect
on the further development of the concept. The steps of this
development are to a certain extent represented in the current
version of the inquiry presented in this article. The now Students’
inquiry on mistake culture in the classroom called instrument
is, with its 28 items, a handy questionnaire. It contains four
scales, (1) orientation toward learning, (2) mistake friendliness,
(3) transparency of norms, and (4) mistake anxiety. The third
scale with its questions on how norms and rules are dealt with
and how comprehensible they are, is the latest innovation on
the path of differentiating and operationalizing the term, and
is therefore depicted and discussed in most depth. Further comments
address, expectedly, the methodological aspects and details
of the questionnaire. Not all of the test-statistical values
are fully satisfying yet, which points to the fact that the
inquiry still needs to be further developed, as well as to the
potential of the concept still to be fully discovered. |
