Description

Math class is an opportunity to teach students both how to use conjecture to arrive at knowledge and how to learn from the logic of peers. As part of our Conversations on Intellectual Humility series, we paired psychologist Shauna Bowes with Deborah Loewenberg Ball, a mathematics educator and professor of education, to explain why there’s more to math than the correct answer.

Intellectual humility is a willingness to admit that you might be wrong about something you believe. The idea originated with philosophers like Aristotle, then found its way into the modern academy via social science. We explore manifestations of IH in classrooms, at the doctors, in bars, in religious communities, in GenAI.
