Why explaining an answer matters more than getting it right
Khan Academy Blog
EDITOR BRIEF
Khan Academy argues that a correct answer alone does not show how a student understands a problem. Explaining, revising, and reasoning make that thinking visible, which supports more useful feedback and timely intervention. AI should support this process rather than replace it.
INSIGHTS
After solving a coding or math problem, explain why each step works before checking an AI response. If your explanation changes, record what changed and why.
