Promoting Inclusive Problem Solving in Education
In this episode, the speaker discusses the importance of including diverse perspectives when teaching problem-solving skills. The traditional approach of dividing students into opposing sides for debates is counterproductive as it reinforces preexisting beliefs. The speaker advocates for a different model where students with diverse experiences related to the topic at hand come together to share their insights and develop a comprehensive understanding of the issues. This approach encourages problem-solving rather than focusing on winning debates. By surfacing different relationships to the subject matter, students can address the multifaceted nature of complex issues and work towards inclusive solutions.
