“A growth mindset is when students understand that their abilities can be developed,”- Carol Dweck
What is a growth mindset?
With a growth mindset, a person believes that their abilities and skills can be developed and improved through persistence and hard work. Talent is just the starting point. This approach fosters a love of learning and resilience when one faces difficulties in learning or improving.
What is a fixed mindset?
In a fixed mindset, people assume their current abilities and qualities, such as their talents or intelligence, are largely fixed. A fixed mindset leads to a belief that talent, without effort, leads to success. You are a born painter or born a basketball star.
The truth is that all traits will benefit from training and practice.
