Adult learning research shows “productive failure” builds tenacity and deepens learning.
Synopsis: Every second Monday of the month, The Straits Times helps you put your career on the right footing from the outset.

However, this requires thought and effort to be put into fostering productive failure.
In this episode, host Tay Hong Yi speaks with his guest on how to make productive failure work.
His guest is Associate Professor Sim Soo Kheng, director of the innovation centre at the Institute for Adult Learning.
