I think these videos are very informative. It was interesting
to see the actual images of a fixed and growth brain. What she was saying is
easy to witness especially in the college community. Within my friends I hear
them say how much they stress over getting an A in class. It is important to move from an educational
system that acknowledges more correct answers to a system that award for
effort. In my opinion our educational system is the reason many students are in
the fixed mind set. For example, in every career, students have to compete for
a spot. It would not be a bad idea if we could get judged by effort rather than
measuring our intelligence with a letter. It is hard to stay calm when an extra
A on our transcript can be the determining factor in the decision if we get
into a certain program. I would love to
have a growth mindset but sometimes it is just not possible when everything at
this point is a competition. I would like to learn more about how to change my
way of viewing my mistakes and my education.

Hi Alexis!
ReplyDeleteI think I would also like to learn how to view my mistakes differently. I thin mistakes can be a great tool to better yourself in the future but I am usually very hard on myself especially when it comes to grades. I like the meme you have chosen though!
Hope you has a good spring break!

Hello!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree on your take on the fixed mindsets we see in school. It definitely seems to be a learned behavior. I find this unfortunate that we have done nothing to change this thinking in the next generation just starting school right now. I do hope one day we as a society will try to change this thinking.
Alexis,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely. I really think it is necessary for us to value the effort that we put in for any work. The educational system can be stressful to many students when they put in all the efforts and the outcomes are not so great in terms of grade. It is necessary to seek the answers! I wonder what that cat is doing in that image.
