Abstract

The book chapter explores the significant role of intellectual humility in cultivating strong teacher-student engagement within the landscape of education. It proposes that teachers modelling intellectual humility by admitting their mistakes and uncertainties signal students to take intellectual risks by asking questions or expressing their perspectives. Furthermore, the chapter also highlights that intellectually humble students are more open towards diverse viewpoints, are eager to learn from new information and expand their cognitive capacity, which are pivotal for active participation. Lastly, the chapter suggests various strategies for fostering intellectual humility in both teachers and students as well as for enhancing the advancements in the educational environments.
