Mistakes are an inescapable part of our life experience and preside over any learning process. Pretending that the error does not exist except to be corrected is the wrong approach. Wanting to avoid the error means to stop and inhibit learning.

It should be stressed here that the correction process must be placed in a humanistic- affective conception of didactics: error is a natural part of the learning process and the student must find in the teacher, in his classmates, in the educational system in general the necessary understanding so that the error does not lead to anxiety situations; it is necessary to promote forms of correction that lead to encouragement and develop the student's self-correction skills and to increase his critical autonomy also in the management of error.
