Why should practice become harder only after the current work is becoming secure?
Practice that is permanently easy gives little new information, while practice that is consistently beyond reach can create noise rather than useful learning. Performance data can help keep the task closer to the learner’s current needs.[1]
كيف يستخدم Toku هذا المبدأ
Toku can raise difficulty after consistently strong results rather than treating one correct answer as proof that a skill is secure.
ما الذي تظهره الأبحاث
Formative assessment research supports using evidence of current understanding to modify subsequent learning activity.[1]
Mastery-learning evidence supports the broader idea of checking security and responding before moving on, while also showing that implementation details matter.[2]
Feedback is more useful when it can redirect future activity rather than merely report a result.[3]
