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.
