6) Growth and Fixed Mindsets [Category: Mindset]: Please write a post that explores growth mindset versus a fixed mindset. In the post, please complete the following:
Fixed mindsets and Growth mindset are two differents things. In the world, everyone have differents ways of thinking. Some people think negatively while some think positively. Every students is different and unique. I wonder why it is like that. In the article name Teachers, Parents Often Misuse Growth Mindset Research, the author psychologist Carol Dweck, from Stanford University stated according to her researches that a lot of students believe that intelligence is a fixed traits. They believe in their own intelligence. “ Kids with what she called fixed mindsets stop trying when when confronted with a challenge” Just because they think there are not good in a subject for example Writing and Math. In contrast to that statement, Carol Dweck argues that “adult can, instead, help foster a “good mindset”- the belief that the brain is like a muscle that can grow stronger through hard work”. According to those statement Carol Dweck distinguish what is fixed mindset and growth mindsets. From my understanding, children with fixed mindsets think that their efforts toward a work is worthless and in school there are not smart enough to grow their intelligence but students with growth mindsets believe they can grow their intelligence by working hard. In the article The perils of Growth Mindset Education, the author Alfie Kohn stated that “kids tend to fare better when they regard intelligence and other abilities not as fixed traits that they either have or lack, but as attributed that can be improved through effort.” According to these two articles I think that student who think that there are smart enough and don’t want to develop their abilities of learning or intelligence are fixed mindsets while the students who want to grow their intelligence by working hard have a growth mindset. As a college students I have both fixed and growth mindset but I have more growth mindsets. I have a fixed mindsets because sometimes I feel like people will make fun of me if I say something that is not correct or something that is different than their point of view. I also have a growth mindsets because I believe in myself and I know that I’m a learner and I like to take things positively in my life. I like to learn from my mistake and get better everyday of my life. Especially in school I like to improve myself.
