If you Give Enough Time to that Which Seems Extremely Improbable, It Can Happen! Applications of the Infinite Monkey Theorem in Secondary Classrooms in Line with the Development of Emotional Skills
The research article addresses two main topics: the concept of giving sufficient time to seemingly improbable events and the applications of the infinite monkey theorem in secondary classrooms in relation to the development of emotional skills. First, the idea that if enough time is given to something that seems extremely improbable, it is possible for that event to occur is highlighted. This notion defies common intuition and suggests that the probability of an event may change over time. Second, the article focuses on applications of the infinite monkey theorem in high school classrooms. The infinite monkey theorem is a metaphor that illustrates the idea that, given enough opportunities, even an extremely difficult task can be completed. In this context, we examine how this theorem can be applied to secondary education and the development of emotional skills in students. Educational strategies that foster perseverance, patience, and tolerance for failure by providing students with the time and support necessary to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges are explored. These strategies include long-term projects, in which students have the opportunity to work on difficult goals for extended periods of time, there by cultiv ating emotional resilience and persistence.
