The productive failure model provides students with a greater capacity to learn through perseverance by utilizing an initial problem solving task that may not produce correct answers (Kapur 2012). The presenter will explain the model, give examples, and share how the model created puzzlement and promoted learning in the classroom (Westbrook 2014).
