If students are afraid of giving incorrect answers or making mistakes, they will not participate in the classroom, as it is necessary to build a safe space in which mistakes can be made and are well accepted in the context. Above all, because they allow us to teach and learn better.

To reduce the apprehension they may have to participate in a large group, I advise that the barrier to learning of avoiding participation is expressly stated and students are consulted on the best way to remove this barrier, the teacher can propose peer tutoring activities that allow learning in a group and then in a large group reflect on the importance of making mistakes or giving incorrect answers to develop their learning, as they see it serves their peers or themselves when they learn.
