Innovative learning, on the other hand, refers to becoming familiar with unfamiliar situations that have no clear precedent for action, or with managing familiar situations in better ways, such as seeking alternative solutions to existing problems.

Part 3 noted that we must instill confidence to succeed. Giving students the confidence to try hard things is vital to success.
