Topics Discussed (from Tic-Tac-Toe Board):
1. The relationship between questions and the creative process.
The processes of teaching, as well as learning, is correlated with the art of questioning
and the process of creativity. Questions are the key elements that deepen the methods of
learning, along with comprehension (Kafele, 2016). In this way, it will help in promoting one’s
own imagination and problem-solving. Answering all the questions will benefit the students by
satisfying their sense of curiosity and will help in increasing the creativeness in an individual
question (Russ, 2013).
2. The necessity of failure and feedback in education.
Failure is one of the reasons in which students will learn to prevent their usual mistakes
and will be able to rectify it (Lottero-Perdue & Parry, 2017). In this way, it will ensure them
more knowledge, hard work and efforts are required to submit in order to obtain success in their
academic score.
On the other hand, feedback is necessary for the process of improvement for the student
and it will help them to incur confidence, self-awareness along with enthusiasm for the process
of learning (Shin, Lee & Seo, 2017). Therefore, the students should be engaged with useful

feedback, and it will develop their learning processes and will improve their performance
(Narciss et al., 2014).
3. Why is positioning and reframing critical for success in the classroom?
The positioning in the classroom is essential so that students can engage themselves in
and an active process of learning and will be the intense focus and concentrate on their studies,
respectively (Kayi-Aydar & Miller, 2018). Therefore the sitting arrangement for the students and
teachers are significant in order to gain the appropriate attention while giving instructions and
performing any activity.
Reframing in the classroom is required to develop success for the students, and it will
help them in order to engage themselves while solving the problems and examining different

Assignment answers:
Answer no. 1: Question and answers are the primary aspects of the learning process and
teaching processes. The primary task of introducing wise ideas, thoughts and concepts so that the
students can understand specific points and will be able to quench their thirst of knowing the
essential aspects of the world. It broadens the elements of learning and clarifies various issues
and encourage an individual to incur more knowledge about the desired subjects (Kafele, 2016).
It will promote essential factors such as proper growth of one’s imagination, decision-making
and problem-solving of the learners. It will satisfy their personal curiosity of understanding the
answers and gathering knowledge by utilising one’s creativity to answer the difficult questions.
Creativity is the compelling aspect and which is interlinked with questions, and it will
help in developing one’s own imagination power such as different ways of answering a single
question, incorporating their individual ideas and thoughts, precise grammatical context and so
on. In this way, it will increase their personal cooperative ways to deal with each and every
question (Russ, 2013). If the individuals are successful enough to incorporate questions with the
process of creativity, then they will attain fluency, attentiveness, originality, flexibility,
elaboration, independence, reflection and so on. Individuals will enhance their sense of
understanding and will be filled with a high concentration towards their desired work. Proper
growth and persistence will increase among themselves. Therefore, creativity and questions are

Answer no. 2: Success and failure are the definite pillars of one’s life and will
encourage to improve their academic scores in their individual field of hard-work. Failure is
actually the baby steps in order to reach success, and it will help in dissolving one’s confusion
and doubts regarding any particular subject. Therefore, every individual needs to gather
resilience so that they can obtain massive success in their individual lives (Shin, Lee & Seo,
2017). The trying aspect is required, and it symbolises that the more we try, we will succeed in
our own individual ways of life.
Therefore, failure will be highlighted only when the appropriate feedback is shared with
the students regarding inattentive progress in their academic field (Lottero-Perdue & Parry,
2017). Feedback is required to improve an individual’s self-awareness, confidence and decisive
factors in the process of learning and teaching (Narciss et al., 2014). It is a responsibility from
the family members and educators so that they can benefit the students by allowing them to
know about their own mistakes.
Answer no. 3: Positioning in the classroom for the desired success as it will ensure the
students to fit in their individual places properly and can concentrate on their individual work in
their academic faculty. The educators and school faculty should take upon the responsibility to
provide properly fitted furniture for the students so that they can focus on their desired subjects.
It is quite significant to have a well-organised classroom, and all the students are required to see
their individual teachers as per their seating arrangement. In a classroom, teachers are required to
guide their individual students (Kayi-Aydar & Miller, 2018). Proper arrangements should be
prepared in the classroom so that all students should not waste their time sitting or arranging
themselves in their respective places. In this way, they will acquire more focus and attention
towards their studies and thus, educators should practice specific methods such as checking over

each and every student, whether they are having any problem regarding their seating
arrangement and about their comfort zone.
Reframing is defined as the process of transforming the focus of any incident and
analysing the aspect from a different perspective. It has been associated with the reciprocal side
of the issue from a broader aspect (Hiver et al., 2019). Therefore, it provides an opportunity by
converting all the problems into benefits. The primary purpose of this technique is to help the
individuals to produce a different perspective in every incident, in other individuals and
relationship by transforming its individual meaning.
