Hii!
Welcome back to my blog.
This blog post is. My thoughts on the growth mindset theory by Carol Dewick taken from the article " A Stanford Professor Who Pioneered Praising Kids For The Effort Say's We've Ttotally Missed The Point". (source: https://qz.com/587811/stanford-professor-who-pioneered-praising-effort-sees-false-praise-everywhere/?utm_source=atlfb)
Miss Dewick has done research on how children who have a fixed mind set , they get fixated on a problem and run from it. Where as those with a growth mindset tried their best and did significantly better. Why is this? Those with a growth mindset try their best to work out the problem. I feel this is very true and I would definitely work on being open minded and this "not yet". Just like Carol Dewick suggests. We as students should [be praised on process, effort and growth rather then achieving grades. However, this does not always happen. Carol Dewick explains how teachers now a days almost re-enfource the fixed mindset by praising whether good or bad, letting people get away with things and not giving feed back. With out feed back, criticism with a not yet attitude and us learning from mistakes we will never ever get past the fixed failure mind set. This is not good at all. I knew that in order to get where you want you have to try, however, I tend to be in a fixed mindset about grades. I am thankful I now can practice thinking that college or any assessments are now t about the end result. It is the process you go through and the consistent hard work you put in which gives you the end result you want. I am excited to explore my abilities and opportunities I have in achieving goals now once I focus on the process and my consistent effort during a process in the mean time. In order to do this, I will stick to a process , ask questions, leave NO question un answered and work consistently in order to get my goals.
