Undoing the learnt

A major stumbling block I have encountered is that learners believe that they need to get all the answers correct and that they must accept what is being said to them. I need to 'unteach this" and show learners that the learning is actually through getting things wrong and then talking about it, unpacking it to see what has happened. The other stumbling block is getting the children to talk and friendly argue their point or ideas. I felt I need to tackle this one at a time. I started with modelling this myself by getting answers wrong and explaining to the class how I got the answer. Often the learners laughed and tried helping me to get the right answer. I would then say - So I have learnt that I cannot do......but should rather do this......is that right? Can I try again? Am I on the right track this time?
