Futurestretch
Practise on tasks just beyond what can be done alone, with support that is withdrawn as skill grows
Definition
Mechanism
Practice uses a Task the learner completes with support but not yet alone. Success is recorded both with support and without it, and when unsupported success passes a stated threshold, the support is withdrawn and harder tasks are chosen.
Invariants
- Each practice task is one the learner completes with support but not yet alone.
- Success is recorded both with support and without it.
- When unsupported success passes the threshold, support is withdrawn and the task is made harder.
Risks
Failure modes
Comfort practice
tasks stay within what is already mastered.
Overreach
tasks stay so far beyond reach that support carries all the work.
