Really great reflection here. Self-assessment is one of the most underrated skills in education, most students are never taught to look back at their own work critically and that gap shows up later in ways they don’t expect.
One thing that connects to this for me is how students approach math. Most just want the answer and move on, never stopping to assess whether they actually understood the process. That’s part of why I built a free step-by-step math calculator for Spanish-speaking students, the whole idea is to slow down the process so students see exactly how a solution is reached, not just what it is.
If anyone here is working with Spanish-speaking learners or teaching foundational math skills, it might be worth a look: https://aliciacalculadoras.es/
The self-reflection mindset you’re describing here is exactly what tools like this are trying to encourage, understanding over shortcuts.
Brilliant information here! Hopefully you wont stop the flow of such magical material!
