In some schools of [[pedagogy]], iterations are used to describe the process of teaching or guiding students to repeat experiments, assessments, or projects, until more accurate results are found, or the student has mastered the technical skill.  This idea is found in the old adage, "Practice makes perfect." In particular, "iterative" is defined as the "process of learning and development that involves cyclical inquiry, enabling multiple opportunities for people to revisit ideas and critically reflect on their implication."<ref>{{cite web |author1=Helen Timperley |author-link=Helen Timperley |author2=Aaron Wilson |author3=Heather Barrar |author4=Irene Fung |title=Teacher Professional Learning and Development: Best Evidence Synthesis Iteration [BES] |url=http://www.oecd.org/edu/school/48727127.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130626044003/http://www.oecd.org/edu/school/48727127.pdf |archive-date=2013-06-26 |access-date=4 April 2013 |publisher=[[OECD]] |page=238}}</ref>

Unlike computing and math, educational iterations are not predetermined; instead, the task is repeated until success according to some external criteria (often a test) is achieved.
